So, why has this happened? Well, check out the official statement for yourself below:

In a nutshell, the ride has proved to be so popular, way more popular than they could have ever imagined, that the daily maintenance required to keep the ride running both smoothly and of course safe, needs to be done a bit more often.

Now of course some Harry Potter fans are not happy to hear this news. The vast majority of fans do seem to be completely fine with this announcement though; especially the fact it is to do with our safety and wellbeing.

Right now, Universal Orlando Resort has not said when they will lift the delay in opening hours. They do plan to lift it eventually, but for now, it is until further notice.
