Universal Orlando Resort attraction evolution

Overview

Universal Orlando Resort has transitioned from classic attractions toward immersive, franchise-based experiences. This evolution included the 2012 demolition of the JAWS ride to facilitate the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley in 2014.

The resort continues to expand its cinematic and horror offerings. Recent developments include the announcement of a reimagined ‘Universal Horror Make-Up Show featuring Blumhouse’, which aims to showcase over 100 years of Hollywood horror special effects. Additionally, the park is developing ‘Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment’ within the Dark Universe area, featuring classic creatures such as Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy.
