Epic Universe has made some big changes to its nighttime entertainment, with all fireworks pulled from the park.Nighttime entertainment has historically been one of Universal Orlando Resort’s weaker points, especially compared to the elaborate fireworks and projection spectaculars offered by Disney. While Universal has experimented with lagoon shows and seasonal productions over the years, its nighttime finales lack the same demand and excitement from regular guests.Credit: UniversalEpic Universe has gone some way toward addressing that. The park initially relied on Celestial Park’s fountains and lighting after dark, but expanded its nighttime lineup in July 2026 with Universal Celestial Goodnight, its first regular fireworks show.But now the show has axed its pyrotechnics.Celestial Goodnight Eliminates All FireworksUniversal Celestial Goodnight typically combines fireworks with fountains, projections, lighting, and music themed to Epic Universe’s different portals: Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, and Dark Universe.However, the theme park has scrapped fireworks due to ongoing issues.Credit: UniversalUniversal didn’t make the announcement on its website or app, but instead let guests know via a recent customer service exchange on X, formerly Twitter.“The fireworks portion of Universal Celestial Goodnight is temporarily unavailable as we work to resolve a technical issue,” the park said in response to a guest questioning the absence of pyrotechnics on September 14. “We apologize for any inconvenience.”Hi Steve, the fireworks portion of Universal Celestial Goodnight is temporarily unavailable as we work to resolve a technical issue. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will be sure to share your feedback. #AskUniversal— Universal Orlando Resort (@UniversalORL) September 15, 2026The same guest criticized Universal for neglecting to announce their removal online.“This should ABSOLUTELY be noted on your APP and website,” they wrote. “I would have re-scheduled my visit to when the full show was available.”While it’s unclear exactly when the pyrotechnics were removed from the show, the full array of fireworks had already been missing from the show “for weeks” as of September 2, as per one guest. That same night, a guest noted that “the show did not have the big fireworks launching behind the Helios Hotel. The fireworks were only on the sides.”We recently witnessed the show in its entirety on August 12. Since then, Orlando has been hit by several storms – something some have theorized affected the fireworks launch site.Pyrotechnics were previously temporarily removed from Celestial Goodnight during extreme heat conditions in Central Florida.Have you ever seen the fireworks at Universal Orlando Resort?The post Universal Quietly Pulls Fan-Favorite Fireworks From Epic Universe After Just 2 Months appeared first on Inside the Magic.
