ORLANDO, Fla – Months following the reopening of its theme parks, Universal Orlando appears to be bringing back its popular nighttime show, Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration. The show has appeared on the theme park’s show times schedule for Oct. 24 at 9:45 p.m.

The lagoon show has been on hiatus since the theme parks closed back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The show opened in 2018 as a celebration of characters from Universal attractions and films. Guests will see pyrotechnics, panoramic water screens, lasers, projection mapping and over 120 dancing fountains.
