Back in August 2025, Rip Ride Rockit in Universal Studios officially closed, and demolition began almost immediately. As it currently stands, the ride is totally gone, but it’s clear that work is being done to prepare the land for a new attraction. Rumors have been flying for months over what it would be, but now we know for sure — a new Fast and Furious roller coaster will be coming to the park!
Universal… what are you doing right now? The theme park is already working on updates to Epic Universe, and construction has been ongoing for months on a majorly secretive project.

Now, thanks to a very ominous post over on X, we think a major Universal announcement is headed our way! Buckle up and be prepared to get furious (this will make more sense in just a moment).
If you’ve been to Universal Orlando, then odds are you’ve ridden the Hogwarts Express. The iconic train connects the Harry Potter area, Diagon Alley in Universal Studios, to Islands of Adventure’s Hogsmeade. It’s not just a transportation method; it’s a ride in and of itself. Look out the windows to see some of your favorite characters alongside the train path. It’s the most fun way to park-hop!

But we have some news – the Hogwarts Express is closing next month, starting on Monday, February 9th, 2026. Here’s everything you need to know and how to get around during the closure!

We don’t want to spoil the surprise, but Universal has a star-studded lineup with some of the biggest names in music right now.
