After being missing for quite some time, the Rocket Air mailbox has returned to its rightful place in Port of Entry at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, looking brand new.
Rocket Air Mailbox Returns to Port of Entry
The Port of Entry mailbox is back at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and appears to have received some refurbishment.
A new mailbox was needed, which is likely why the prop was missing for some time.
Though now that it’s back, it looks entirely brand new.
The themed rocket mail prop around the mailbox got a total refresh, and all of the paint and décor looks very bright and nice.
This is an actual working mailbox, which guests can use while visiting the park. It’s a fun way to send yourself or someone else a unique souvenir from your trip. Mail is collected from the mailbox every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
In addition to this mailbox, guests can also send letters or postcards from the Owl Post in Hogsmeade, Scribbulus in Diagon Alley, or the Hello Kitty Shop at Universal Studios Florida. Those locations also give letters a unique ink stamp.
Here’s a look at one of those stamps, specifically from Hogsmeade.
Some guests have been known to send out wedding or party invitations this way, just to have them stamped.
The mailbox has other decorative aspects to it, like this Rocket Express Mail letter bag.
Despite its weathered appearance, the colors on this Rocket Air Mail metal sign look vibrant and clear.
