Refurbishments
Unfortunately, refurbishments need to happen to keep things running at their best. It is always disappointing when you spend months planning a trip only to find your favorite attraction, resort, restaurant, or even recreational activity is subject to refurbishment plans.
Refurbishments can occur at attractions, resorts, restaurants, and even recreational activities.
Refurbishments can last a few days to several months. Wondering what is currently closed at Universal? Check out January's closures HERE.
Fyre Drill
Fyre Drill is a boat water ride located in Epic Universe. You will find it in the How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk portal. There is no height requirement for this attraction, however handheld infants are not permitted.
Water cannons shoot over 28 feet to reach targets and other Viking ships.
Universal describes the attraction:
"It's a Soak or Be Soaked Sea Battle...With fire-breathing dragons everywhere, villagers have to be prepared. Viking twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut have transformed Berk's Fyre Skööl into a watery, interactive boat battle at sea. Board your ship in Fyre Drill and blast your water cannons at flame-like targets - and the occupants of every other boat - to out-soak other Vikings."
Refurbishment Closure
Fyre Drill will have a temporary closure beginning February 1, 2026. This closure will last through February 7, 2026.
Fyre Drill will be closed temporary from February 1st through February 7th, 2026.
This is the first official refurbishments for the park since its opening last year. There is no word on what work will be completed during the closure.
