If you’re planning a visit to Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, you’ve probably already got a long list of all the rides you want to tackle when you go there, BUT there’s no guarantee that all rides will be open during your visit.
Now, sometimes rides close due to technical issues, while other times, rides have scheduled closures for general maintenance. Well, we’ve found out about a scheduled ride closure in EPIC Universe you may want to be aware of if you’re visiting the park soon.
Fyre Drill in Epic Universe’s How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk will be closed from November 9th through November 10th. This is in addition to the previous ride closure we told you about happening on January 25th through February 4th, 2027.
Fyre Drill is a water ride where Ruffnut and Tuffnut have transformed Berk’s Fyre Skööl into an interactive boat battle where you will get VERY wet. Once riders board the boats, they blast their water cannons at targets, but also at other boats. Needless to say, it’s probably a ride you’ll want to ride in the summer, but maybe not so much during the cooler days of winter.
The good news is that this is the only closure for the month in Epic Universe, although there are some other closures you might want to know about in Universal Orlando. That includes Hogwarts Express, which will be closed in both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
You’ll also want to keep in mind that the holiday season begins in Universal Orlando on November 14th and runs through January 3rd, 2027. During this time, you’ll see holiday decor, special character meet-and-greets (like the Grinch), special foods and beverages, holiday entertainment, and more.
We’ll keep an eye out for more Universal Orlando changes and updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
