Safety Is No Accident
Both your safety, and that of our team members, are Universal Orlando’s top priority and we’ve taken important steps to make things safe for everyone. Loose articles like cell phones, cameras, umbrellas and keys are prohibited at most attractions, and should be left with a non-rider or secured in a locker. Items that could extend out of the ride vehicle—either before or during the ride—should be properly secured before riding. If you have particularly long hair, long and flowing clothing or long and flowing accessories, you’ll be required to take certain precautions before riding any attraction.
Guests wishing to experience Stardust Racers, Jurassic World VelociCoaster and The Incredible Hulk Coaster® will be required to pass through a metal detector as loose articles are strictly prohibited on these attractions.
