Inside Universal first reported that Jurassic World – The Ride is temporarily closed at Universal Studios Hollywood, and a post quoting the Universal Studios app says the attraction is scheduled to reopen on 21 November 2026.
There is no confirmed Bedford or Universal United Kingdom Resort link here, but the operating pattern is still relevant to readers following Universal’s wider park strategy: a marquee ride has been taken out of service while a major seasonal event is under way. That is the sort of scheduling choice that matters when a park is balancing daytime guest demand against evening event operations.
Why it sits out Halloween Horror Nights
Universal Studios Hollywood’s own HHN 2026 material says the event runs on select nights and brings eight haunted houses, six scare zones, one live show and the Terror Tram. Its official list of attractions available during the event names SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, Transformers: The Ride-3D, Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride and The Simpsons Ride; Jurassic World – The Ride is not included.
In practical terms, the refurbishment window keeps the ride out of the evening programme during Halloween Horror Nights 2026. That is the point that matters on the ground: the attraction is unavailable while the park is leaning on a separate set of operating rides and event infrastructure.
What happens next
For now, the clearest date to watch is 21 November 2026, when the ride is currently expected to return. Until Universal confirms that reopening itself, the attraction remains in maintenance mode and off the board for HHN guests.
