A Major Universal Orlando Attraction Is Down And Shows No Signs Of Reopening Soon

Ride closures at theme parks are to be expected. Nothing that contains so many moving parts can run all the time without some regular maintenance. We keep track of what’s closed at Disney World specifically because doing so can be difficult for the average guest. Sometimes a minor issue causes a ride to shut down for a few hours or even a day, but we rarely see unscheduled closures last too long, Universal Orlando’s marquee attraction, the Jurassic World Velocicoaster, looks to be having significant issues, that may not be fixed for some time.

Over on the Inside Universal forums, fans are reporting that over the weekend, Velocicoaster was either closed or running at a reduced capacity, with only a couple of trains running. Problems continued yesterday and, as of this writing, the attraction is currently closed and guests are reportedly being told the coaster will be closed all day today. A user on Reddit , who says they spoke with a team member, reported that something “pretty bad” happened recently during ride testing and that the attraction could remain closed for a week if not longer.
