Universal Studios Florida in the rain: what stays open
Universal Studios Florida stays open in the rain. The resort's rules say attractions and entertainment may close because of weather, and outdoor rides like Trolls Trollercoaster are the most exposed, while most of the headline rides here are indoor dark rides and simulators: the park itself describes Revenge of the Mummy and The Simpsons Ride as indoor. If a hurricane or tropical storm warning is issued for Orlando within seven days of your arrival, tickets bought directly from Universal can be rescheduled without fees.
Indoor: open even when it rains
- Revenge of the Mummyindoor coaster in the dark
- The Simpsons Ride™indoor simulator ride
Outdoor: first to close in storms and high winds
- Trolls Trollercoasteroutdoor family coaster in DreamWorks Land
- Kang & Kodos' Twirl 'n' Hurlopen-air flying saucer spinner
These are the tall, exposed rides, the most vulnerable to lightning and wind. It's up to the park when to stop them.
