For the first time since the theme parks reopened in 2020, Universal Studios Florida has resumed its Universal Superstar Parade, which is now being performed regularly at the park, with favorite characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets and more now waving to guests from the parade route.

8. Storm Force Accelatron reopens at Islands of Adventure

Over at Islands of Adventure, the spinning Storm Force Acelerator ride at Marvel Super Hero Island has also reopened this week, after being closed since August 2020, when the park had very low capacity. This ride is now operating daily at the park alongside other Marvel favorites including The Hulk roller coaster and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.
