The reason for this morning’s closure has not been officially confirmed, but some Team Members said they were being sent home early due to a power outage.

If the delayed opening was due to a power outage, it will likely take a while before Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure do reopen.
