Overview
- Universal announced on Oct. 8 that the daytime parade is paused effective immediately and slated to resume in late October, with Oct. 22 listed as a tentative date that may change.
- The production debuted in July 2024 and features more than 100 performers with floats tied to Jurassic World, Ghostbusters, E.T., and Trolls.
- Universal has not detailed the maintenance, and coverage notes new construction walls near Wicked: The Experience extending into the street along the Hollywood route.
- The suspension removes a signature daytime offering during the Halloween and Halloween Horror Nights period, affecting guest expectations and crowd flow.
- The pause follows a year of rapid park changes, including May’s Epic Universe opening and the August closure and demolition of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, with a Ghostbusters replacement discussed by fans as a rumor.
