A Popular Universal Attraction Is Now Closed

Well, that was fast!

Universal Orlando

Only a few days ago, Universal Orlando announced that this attraction would be closing and going under a reimagining to reopen later in the year, and now the attraction is closed for the changes.

The Horror Make Up Show has officially closed in Universal Orlando as of May 12th. While Universal hasn’t released too much information, we know that it will reopen after a reimagining, and we’re very excited to see what’s coming.

This was one of our favorite shows that went through how Hollywood makes some of their iconic monsters and special effects. The queue was filled with real props from famous movies, and we hope these will stay in the queue or move to another location.

Universal did say that the updated version will “showcase a mix of classic and modern horror properties along with shockingly fun surprises,” so it sounds like the base will be the same, but talk about some modern tricks.

This isn’t the only change coming to Universal Orlando. In Islands of Adventure, restaurants and experiences in the Lost Continent area will permanently close to turn into a new themed area.

Over in Universal CityWalk, Fat One’s Hot Dogs & Italian Ice by Joey Fatone will be opening. It will take over the Hot Dog Hall of Fame, which is closing in July.

We’re also super excited for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift to be coming to Universal! This roller coaster will have high-speed twists, immersive storytelling, and blockbuster-level excitement. The ride is set to open in 2027, but we can already see them hard at work.
