Overview
- Industry data show 2024 attendance fell 2.6% at Universal Studios Florida, 5.5% at Islands of Adventure, and 8.3% at Volcano Bay, a decline Comcast linked to guests delaying trips before the new park opened.
- After Epic Universe debuted in May 2025, Comcast reported strong resort-wide attendance and revenue gains, and local hotel tax receipts rose.
- Universal is managing crowds by bundling the new park into select multi-day tickets while keeping it off standard annual passes, requiring passholders to buy separate day tickets.
- Jurassic Park River Adventure at Islands of Adventure is slated to be closed January 5 through November 19, 2026.
- Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit has been permanently removed, and Universal has not confirmed any brand-new attractions for the existing parks in 2026.
