History of Power Rangers at Universal Studios



For almost five years, the Power Rangers were at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios in Orlando (2005 to 2010). But that is no longer the case. For those who just clicked on this from google and not familiar with this, Disney owned Power Rangers from 2002 to 2010, now it is owned once again by the original owner Haim Saban. I've read online that many parents miss the Rangers and their kids want to see them. So far Saban has not announced them at any parks as of yet. Because Power Rangers are now airing on Nickelodeon and Nickelodeon Studios used to be at Universal Studios Orlando and some characters did frequent there, some fans believe the Rangers might move over there. It is yet to be announced.



Saban has had the Power Rangers appear at Universal Studios before. For Lightspeed Rescue in 2000, the actors appeared at Universal Studios Hollywood, California for 2 days and their bikes were there for a while. Now, yes these were no staying theme park attractions.



Also I remember reading an article back in 1994 that the original cast of MMPR (Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, Walter Jones, etc.) also made an appearance---they made five shows and there was a big crowd. Now, yes these were no staying theme park attractions. The longest thing at a theme park the Power Rangers have ever had was in Walt Disney World. Another theme park-like thing there is the Nick Hotels and Nick Cruise where the Nickelodeon characters appear at.
