Universal Blocks Hogsmeade–Jurassic Park Bridge as Refurbishment Reshapes Guest Flow
On-site visuals point to preservation of the classic Jurassic Park theme, not a Jurassic World retheme.
Overview
- Jurassic Park River Adventure is closed for a major refurbishment from January 5 through November 19, 2026.
- As of February 11, construction walls block the Hogsmeade–Jurassic Park bridge, forcing guests to reroute around the park to reach Jurassic Park.
- The Hogwarts Express is down for routine maintenance February 9–23, with service scheduled to resume February 24 and no train transport available between parks during the closure.
- Aerial photos show new ride boats under tarps and construction walls feature Jurassic Park imagery, with 30th‑anniversary tribute props added in retail spaces reinforcing the original branding.
- Fans on X and Reddit have speculated about a Jurassic World retheme, but no change has been announced and current evidence indicates refurbishment of the existing experience.
