Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls is back in action at Universal’s Islands of Adventure! After a month-long refurbishment, this beloved Toon Lagoon ride has reopened with some fresh updates. Guests can enjoy brighter paint, repaired animatronics, and enhanced sound effects, making the ride feel as vibrant as ever. Whether you’re a fan of the slapstick humor or the thrilling 75-foot drop, it’s a must-do for anyone visiting the park.
While it’s exciting to see Ripsaw Falls restored to its former glory, Universal Orlando has even more changes on the horizon. The resort is gearing up for a big year in 2025, with rumors of significant updates across its parks. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, a staple of Universal Studios Florida, may be on its way out. Recent permits suggest the ride could be removed to make room for a new project, leaving fans speculating about what’s next for the park. Will it be a new thrill ride or something entirely unexpected?
These changes are part of Universal’s larger plan to modernize its offerings while preparing for the highly anticipated debut of Epic Universe. Scheduled to open later this year, this new park is expected to redefine the theme park experience. Featuring lands like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic and How to Train Your Dragon, Epic Universe will immerse guests in entirely new worlds. With state-of-the-art attractions and unique dining experiences, it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects in theme park history.
Universal Orlando is proving it’s ready to meet the future head-on. By balancing updates to beloved classics like Ripsaw Falls with bold new ventures, the resort is offering something for everyone. Whether you’re excited about the nostalgia of Toon Lagoon or dreaming of exploring the worlds of Epic Universe, 2025 is going to be an unforgettable year for Universal fans. So pack your poncho for Ripsaw Falls, and get ready for the next big adventure just around the corner.
