Hogwarts Express at Universal Orlando to Close Feb. 9–23 for Refurbishment

Guests should plan to walk between the two parks during the downtime.

Overview

  • The attraction will be offline from February 9 through 23, with reopening expected on February 24, 2026.
  • Universal describes the work as a refurbishment for routine maintenance and has not detailed the specific scope.
  • Because the train links Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, park-to-park travelers will need to exit and make an approximately five-minute walk between entrances.
  • Reporting indicates no additional closures are scheduled in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley during this period.
  • A Hogwarts Express car will remain on display in Hogsmeade for photos and interactions with the train conductor.
