Universal Reopens Lagoon Bridge Ahead of HHN 34 as Rip Ride Rockit Dismantling Continues

The restored shortcut is expected to ease navigation for heavy event crowds.

Overview

The bridge linking Springfield and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has reopened after a closure since mid-July that forced lengthy detours through London and past Men in Black: Alien Attack.
HHN 34 at Universal Orlando begins August 29 and runs on select nights through November 2.
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is being dismantled at Universal Studios Florida, with no replacement announced.
Fan guides highlight tactics for managing HHN waits and heat, including arriving before dusk, using the Universal app, and staying hydrated.
With the pathway back in service, guests can move more directly across the park, which is expected to improve flow during peak HHN attendance.
