Overview
- Universal began soft‑opening the Mega Movie Parade to guests on June 3, 2026, with unadvertised performances at Universal Studios Florida.
- The parade brings large floats, vehicles, and costumed performers representing Ghostbusters, Jaws, Back to the Future, and Jurassic Park into the park streets.
- Reporters and attendees noted a lineup change at the soft opening that places skaters first followed by Doc Brown and Marty McFly leading the procession.
- The preview follows a rocky 2024 rollout when technical rehearsals, late additions such as a second Jurassic float, and the Ghostbusters Ecto‑1 arriving only in October left many guests never seeing the finished show.
- By testing timing and technical elements in soft openings, Universal aims to smooth operations and ease crowd flow during peak summer days, though prior calendar shifts have left some visitors cautious about schedule reliability.
