Pteranodon Flyers Closed
The ride is not scheduled for maintenance so is most likely closed due to a technical issue. The Universal Orlando Resort app lists the ride as “Closed.” If it was only temporarily closed for a few hours, the app would instead say it was delayed.
In February, Jurassic World VelociCoaster was unexpectedly closed for several days. If a safety issue is discovered, Universal Orlando Resort closes a ride until the problem is resolved. Safety is always Universal’s top priority.
Pteranodon Flyers is famous for having a maximum height — meaning most adults can’t ride unless accompanied by a child. Riders must be at least 36 inches (92 centimeters) and no taller than 56 inches (143 centimeters) unless accompanied by a rider within the height requirements.
