This means you won’t be able to use the Hogwarts Express to travel back and forth from park to park during these dates. The Hogwarts Express joins Fast & Furious — Supercharged and MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack as other attractions that will be temporarily closed at Universal Orlando soon. Luckily, the Hogwarts Express won’t be down for too long!
