Universal Orlando Sets Multi-Week Men in Black Closure as Jurassic Park Ride Stays Down

Overview

• Universal’s calendar, noted by outlets Thursday, now shows MEN IN BLACK: Alien Attack closed June 1–16 after an earlier one‑day listing.
• Jurassic Park River Adventure has been offline since January 5 and is scheduled to return in November 2026, keeping the water ride down for most of the year.
• Universal has not announced any permanent retirements, and both closures are listed as downtime, though fans are speculating about rethemes like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Jaws, or Nintendo.
• The two rides opened in 1999 and 2000 and have anchored the parks for more than 26 years, which heightens concern when their outages stretch longer.
• The overlap in extended closures fits a wider resort refresh tied to new, high-immersion franchises, with Epic Universe setting the pace for upgrades across the parks.
