Overview
- Universal announced the updated timeline via the Inside Universal account on February 2, setting a February 14, 2026 reopening.
- The refurbishment began February 1 and was originally slated to end with a February 8 reopening.
- Current schedules list Fyre Drill as closed through February 13, with operations planned to resume on February 14, subject to change.
- Universal has not disclosed the reason for the longer closure.
- Fyre Drill is a family-friendly water attraction that helps absorb crowds, so its continued downtime affects early-February trip planning and guest flow before the spring travel period.
