Overview
- Volcano Bay will close October 26, 2026 through March 24, 2027 for an extended refurbishment confirmed by Universal Orlando.
- Sales and renewals of 3‑Park Annual Passes are paused; only 2‑Park options remain available, and current passholders are unaffected until renewal.
- Universal has not specified what work will occur during the shutdown, with reporting noting only that the duration suggests more than routine seasonal maintenance.
- Near-term maintenance includes multiple 2025 closure dates listed on the official calendar and a Honu Ika Moana slide refurbishment from November 3 to December 19, 2025.
- Coverage notes Universal ended TapuTapu wearables and virtual lines at Volcano Bay this month, and outlets caution that any attraction or infrastructure upgrades remain speculative until announced.
