Starting this summer, Universal Orlando will take its nighttime lagoon show to the next level in Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration. This new show will give guests an awe-inspiring way to finish off their day in Universal Studios Florida, on select nights.

Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration will seamlessly blend fountain-based media, a variety of state-of-the-art technologies and special effects in a whole new way.

The show combines an all-new storyline with full panoramic water screens accented by additional multi-layer water screens, pyrotechnics and – for the first time – more than 120 dancing fountains and projection mapping to transform the entire waterfront and surrounding buildings into a vivid celebration of epic movie moments and beloved characters.

Guests will be able to enjoy Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration from an all-new, dedicated viewing area designed specifically for the show – giving them prime viewing of the experience.

It will replace former lagoon show Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular and has simularities to World of Color at Disney California Adventure.

Guests will witness moments from the Harry Potter film series conjured by way of spells, ear-shattering roars from dinosaurs in Jurassic World, the adrenaline rush of speed from Fast and the Furious, mischief by the Minions from Illumination’s Despicable Me and more come to life right before their very eyes – all in the heart of the Universal Studios Florida lagoon.

This summer, guests will now have two new spectacular nighttime shows to enjoy as part of their visit to Universal’s theme parks – Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration in Universal Studios Florida and The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle in Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
