Men in Black Alien Attack Reopens at Universal After Short June Refurbishment

Overview

• The ride reopened Wednesday, June 17, 2026 after a scheduled closure at the start of June for routine refurbishment.
• Frequent riders have long reported specific faults: blasters that register unevenly between seats, targets that fail to score hits, and an inconsistent red-button bonus that sometimes does not trigger the special spin.
• Universal did not publish a detailed list of repairs or system updates performed during the refurbishment, leaving exact fixes unconfirmed by the company.
• Several outlets ran headlines saying issues were repaired but their own stories noted the lack of technical detail, so guest ride reports will be the first clear test of whether problems were resolved.
• The reopening comes as part of wider resort maintenance that includes work on Jurassic Park River Adventure and demolition in the former Lost Continent, and the result could change guest flow and repeat-ride demand for this long-running 2000 attraction.
