The Boneyard was an attraction formerly located at Universal Studios Florida, which opened with the park on June 7, 1990 and will be removed on September 8, 2008 to make way for an entrance to Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit.

The attraction was used both to display unusable or aged props from Universal Pictures Films and TV programs, or to hold queue areas, concerts, or displays during the park's special and annual events. Throughout it's years of operation, it was home to props from popular films and TV shows such as Jaws, , Miami Vice, The Fast and the Furious, The Flintstones and others. In 1998, a Jurassic Park exhibit was set up inside it titled "The Jurassic Park Visitor Center" as part of an advertisement to support the opening of the Islands of Adventure theme park. The attraction later went back to housing movie props in 1999. In 2002, the props were removed, and from then on, the attraction was used for displays during the park's annual events such as haunted house queue lines during Halloween Horror Nights, concert venues during Mardi Gras and Rock the Universe, and a parade float display during Macy's Holiday Parade. When annual events were not occurring, the attraction would remain empty. The attraction will close completely on September 8, 2008. The last event it held before it's closure was Rock the Universe on September 5 and September 6, 2008. An entrance to Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit is scheduled to open in its place in Spring, 2009. The attraction has already been closed off with walls in preperation for the construction, and the Rock the Universe stage was previously placed in a small, inclosed area of the attraction.
