What's New in RideAlert
1.2.0
July 8, 2026
-Universal parks are here. RideAlert now watches wait times at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Universal Studios Hollywood — same alerts, same wrist notifications. -Keep your session going. When your pass is about to run out mid-day, you can now add another pass without stopping — your watched rides and alerts carry over, no gap. -Jump back in faster. Your last park is one tap from the home screen, and starting a session is smoother when your pass is already active. -Fixed: a rare issue where a purchase could be charged without the pass being applied — affected passes now restore automatically the next time you open the app.
