Universal Orlando Confirms Two Major 2027 Closures as Park Redevelopment Takes Shape

Overview

• Universal confirmed on Friday that Fast & Furious: Supercharged will permanently close in 2027 as the resort clears the attraction’s show building for redevelopment.
• Mythos Restaurant at Islands of Adventure is widely reported to be expected to close in 2027 as part of an ongoing teardown of the Lost Continent that has removed attractions and scenery over several years.
• Construction is already underway on Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, a new roller coaster being built on the former Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit footprint and intended to become the franchise’s kinetic centerpiece at the resort.
• Universal has not announced formal replacements for the cleared spaces; industry and fan speculation favors large Nintendo franchises such as The Legend of Zelda or Pokémon and legacy Universal properties, but those ideas remain unconfirmed.
• The moves continue a multi‑year pattern at Universal of retiring underperforming, projection‑heavy shows in favor of big intellectual properties and repurposing large indoor show buildings, a shift that will reshape guest dining and attraction options in coming years.
