Refurbishments/Rehab dates, Check here first

[damo]

have there been any refurbs on Simpsons ride? it is relatively new, right? we are basically going to universal for 1 day, stricktly for my s/o to ride the ride and absorb in as much as the park has to offer re: the simpsons. lol. he is a diehard collector. anyway, we still have a wait yet (February!). I just don't want him to get hyped up if for nothing

The Simpsons ride opened in Spring 2008, so there really is no need for refurbs yet.

I was reading Orlando United forums and someone posted that Cat in the Hat is closed starting today for rehab. Said is is going to last at least 1 week. That means they will have it closed for Memorial Day weekend? Can anyone confirm? Makes no sense for a busy weekend to put the ride down.

NNNOOOOO!!!!!!! It is one of my favorites at IoA, and I am going in three weeks!!!

You should be ok in 3 weeks, we are going Wednesday for 1 week. I hope its only this week and not the weekend.

I went on JP yesterday and it was alright -- though some things weren't working. Today, someone on FB is claiming it's closed again. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

My wait time app says it has a wait, but those things can never truly be trusted.

Hi, I'm new here. Going to US for our third time this summer in 19 days (but who's counting?). My girls loved the Jimmy Neutron ride last year. If anyone has been recently, is it running? TIA

 

[cieslack]

Get it while you can if it's still open. Despicable Me will be replacing it in 2012. I hope your girls get to ride it one last time.

... for August 2012! My first trip and I can't wait!

Can anyone let me know what/if anything is due to be closed for this period?

Thanks in advance!

As far as I'm aware, Jimmy Neutron is now closed forever. They are refurbishing it as we speak. It will reopen as Despicable Me sometime next year, but as you can imagine, the refurbishment and retheming process takes a long while, which is why they closed the attraction in its Jimmy Neutron incarnation this spring.

Nothing will be announced this far out except for attractions that are being refurbished/built now. Jimmy Neutron will be closing in August but other than that, it's way too early to know anything.

Jimmy Neutron will be closing permanently in August and I've heard it's running sporadically so if it's open...ride it while you can.

I have clicked everywhere on the Universal Orlando official site to try & locate the refurbishments & closings & it is not under the park calendar or hours. It is not on the rides individually when you click on them (which is what the Universal site states to do), so how can I locate any future closings for refurbishments for 11/14 thru 11/18/2011?

My son & I LOVE the Mummy ride & want to ensure it is not closed during this week. When was it refurbished or worked on last, does anyone know?

Does anyone know where I can locate the November 2011 closings/refurbishments?
Thank you so much !!! Love my Dis Buddies !!!

The last time we went to Universal Orlando was 6 years ago & we are going back & staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, love the perk of the front of the line access for onsite guests!!!

disneyndecember, that is why this thread is a sticky.

it will be kept up to date whenever ride closures have been made.

check back here occassionally to see what is being refurbed or down.

Thanks. Telling my daughters not to expect to ride it then. I'm sure they will find something else to obsess over.

First time at Universal in forever...what will be closed during our trip?

TIA
