Pteranodon Flyers Resumes Testing at Universal Orlando Ahead of May 22 Reopening
The tests signal Universal’s intent to keep a legacy family ride in the lineup.
Overview
- Pteranodon Flyers, which began visible testing Wednesday, was seen cycling ride vehicles as team members ran checks.
- The attraction is scheduled to reopen May 22, restoring the suspended glider that soars over Camp Jurassic in Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure.
- The ride had been closed for months, prompting speculation it might be removed before this week’s activity showed progress toward a return.
- Access remains limited because adults may ride only with a child between 36 and 56 inches tall, a policy that has long produced lengthy waits.
- The comeback arrives as Universal prepares major growth with Epic Universe, and fans view the move as support for classic experiences alongside new builds.
