Universal Pushes Pteranodon Flyers Reopening to May 22

Overview

• Pteranodon Flyers, which Inside Universal said Monday would now target May 22, remains closed after an expected mid-May return slipped by a week.
• The ride went offline earlier this year without a formal notice, and construction walls have kept the track and vehicles out of sight.
• Universal has not explained either the closure or the extension, and fan reports suggest brake and other mechanical work that is not confirmed.
• The family glider requires a child rider, so its absence removes a rare option for younger kids in the Jurassic Park area.
• The new target lands just before summer crowds, and the 1999 system may need hard-to-find parts, with visible testing likely the next sign of progress.
