Closures are usually listed about mid way down the page via this link: http://www.universalorlando.com/Resort_Information/theme_park_hours.aspx#

There is nothing showing closed during August...at least for right now.

Can someone tell me if Fivels Playground (water slide) will be closed when we go at the end of September. It was last year.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Nothing has been announced as of yet. Keep checking back to see if anything has been added.

Not seeing any closures listed for Sept or Oct. Is this normal?
What about Twister and Fear Factor? Are those usually operating in the off season? Our dates are Oct 25-26.

Fear Factor wasn't operating when we were there last week. I'm not sure if it is operating at all.

Fear Factor only operates seasonally. It probably won't be open until next summer, if it opens at all.

When we were there a couple days ago Poseidon's Fury was closed off with a crane type thing in front of it. Looked like it was likely closed for a while...

I believe it's open again now. Been hearing reports of people going over there and checking out the vortex, so it might've just been that day?

Anyways, I believe Rip Ride Rockit is going to be down for awhile. The sign over the turnstiles says it's down for preventative maintenance. Based on what I've read online, it looks like it'll be down for awhile, unfortunately.

 

[ducky_love]

Yep- Poseidon was open yesterday. Yay!!

I agree that it doesn't look good for RRR.

Please list dates that rides and shows will be closed. This thread is for listing ride closures or for asking questions about your date. If you would like to discuss your disappointment with a ride being closed during your visit, feel free to start a new thread about that.

we are in Orlando for the last week in Sept/ first week in Oct 2011. Any closures then that you know of?

They won't announce anything is early for next fall unless there's major construction going on. Keep checking back the closer you get to your travel dates.

Park hours are here:

And are listed through Sept. You can click on previous months to go back to Oct 2010. Park hours should be similar.
