Nothing deflates a theme park trip like discovering your beloved ride is unexpectedly out of service. Weather, technical issues, and refurbishments often close rides, but parks usually announce long closures in advance so visitors can plan. If you plan to visit Universal Orlando, be ready for the shutdown of "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey."
The famed ride inside Hogwarts Castle at Universal’s Islands of Adventure will close for a facelift starting April 9th, 2025, with current listings showing closure through June 30th. The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle is also unavailable, likely tied to the ride's downtime.
Despite this, there’s something for Potter fans to look forward to! A new Harry Potter attraction will soon open as part of Universal's Epic Universe on May 22nd, 2025. This includes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, complete with Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to exploring Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and the upcoming Ministry of Magic, which offers six thrilling rides and numerous dining options. As a Harry Potter enthusiast, it’s an exciting time to immerse yourself in these magical lands.
