Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
The construction on the rumored “Velocicoaster” roller coaster is moving along fast. Just a few weeks ago, we were checking out other milestones, and now the highest point of the coaster is complete. Universal Orlando has marked this momentous occasion with a Jurassic logo flag.
Disney announced an update to the Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World back in February. Since then, hard work has been done and the update is now nearly complete. A new paint scheme has given a rose gold-inspired look to this classic castle. These photos give a close-up view of the new look.
Super Nintendo World, the highly-anticipated expansion to Universal Studios Japan, has delayed its opening for the time being. On the other hand, due to safe practices, the park is widening its ticket availability and easing COVID-19 restrictions.
In some states and counties, people are required to wear masks in public and practice social distancing. But even in those areas, some businesses simply do not enforce the rules. On the other hand, many have praised theme parks, like Universal Orlando Resort, for their safe practices and extensive cleaning processes, including taking the temperature of every guest — something most grocery stores don’t do. We asked you, our readers, what you thought about safety measures in theme parks and at essential grocery stores.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen claims of the dangers of wearing masks and the dangers of not wearing masks. One of the main claims against face coverings, other than discomfort, is the lack of oxygen guests may receive while being at a theme park all day. I took a pulse oximeter to the Universal Orlando Resort to see true results of what our blood oxygen saturation percentage was throughout the day.
