If you are heading to Universal Orlando this weekend, you need this heads up. One of the parks will be closed all weekend!
Universal Orlando
Universal Studios Orlando is known for their amazing thrill rides, consisting of roller coasters and motion simulators. Here you can discover rides, attractions and a whole lot more that makes this the best park for people looking for BIG thrills.
Universal boasts that they aren’t about make-believe. They bring some of our favorite movies to life – including Minions and Harry Potter. These thrills are can’t miss fun.
Severe Weather
Even though Florida is known as the “Sunshine State,” you must still plan for inclement weather. Your park plans can change quickly when severe weather hits. Many outdoor attractions will close when there is rain and lightning in the area.
Hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. However hurricanes aren’t the only severe weather that Florida sees. They also see severe heat, tornadoes warnings, and even cold temperatures.
The Orlando area is expected to see 2 to 3 inches of widespread rain this weekend. They are also expected to see wind gusts up to 35 mph! Because of this, another Orlando theme park has already closed this weekend. You can see that HERE.
Universal Volcano Bay
Universal Orlando has closed one of their parks this weekend. Universal Volcano Bay will be closed on both Saturday, December 16 and Sunday, December 17, due to inclement weather. Guests can call 407-817-8317 or check out Universal Orlando’s social channels for park updates.
This closure sure can be disappointing for Guests who are visiting Universal Orlando this weekend. If you are visiting the other Universal Orlando parks be sure to be prepared for the rainy and windy weather. This includes having rainy-day gear and a flexible park itinerary.
Universal Volcano Bay will be closed Saturday (12/16) and Sunday (12/17), due to inclement weather.
We also wanted to remind you that Volcano Bay does have pre-scheduled closures planned for January. You can see those dates HERE.
