NEW Ride Closure Announced for Epic Universe

Universal Orlando has had lots of ride closures lately, and this new closure might affect your spring break trip!

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD

Super Nintendo World is one of the most popular lands at Epic Universe, which is why you need to know about this!

There’s only one thing we love more than theme parks – and that’s the food and drinks! We made a free map of the best drink options from Butterbeer to hidden gems at the best Universal park, Epic Universe.

Universal quietly announced that Yoshi’s Adventure in Super Nintendo World will be closed from Tuesday, April 21st to Thursday, April 23rd, 2026. It will reopen on Friday, April 24th. This brief, scheduled maintenance is likely to fix minor technical issues and to improve guest flow and operational systems.

Yoshi’s Adventure

Yoshi’s Adventure briefly closed last month from February 24th to February 26th. While the three-day refurbishment was resolved on time, Yoshi’s Adventure is one of three rides available for small kids, and only one of two rides with wheelchair-accessible vehicles in Epic Universe. For families with young children or wheelchairs, Yoshi’s Adventure being closed regularly can impact their Epic Universe day.

If you’re headed to Epic Universe during the closure with kids, there are still some rides you can ride. We’d recommend checking out Constellation Carousel in Celestial Park for a kid-friendly and wheelchair accesible carousel ride. The How To Train Your Dragon water ride, Fyre Drill, also has no height requirement, but guests in wheelchairs will need to transfer. A popular ride for bigger kids is Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, which has wheelchair-accessible vehicles, but this does have a height requirement of 42 inches.
