Both Universal Orlando Resort theme parks reach capacity before 9 a.m.

December is always one of the busiest times in Orlando for the theme parks. That fact was very apparent today when both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure were closed for capacity before 9 a.m. Due to social distancing measures, all the major parks in Florida have followed CDC guidelines to limit visitors, which has reduced capacity to less than half for most locations.

A major leap in progress has begun at Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park as the Jurassic World Velocicoaster is now periodically doing test runs. This upcoming coaster will be one of the most impressive in Universal’s portfolio. Two launches, numerous inversions, and a 100 foot zero-gravity inverted stall are just some of its impressive feats.

Disney and Universal Studios’ rumored unrealized ‘Scream’ attractions – DePaoli on DeParks

I am a huge fan of the “Scream” franchise. I remember as a young teenager hearing so much buzz surrounding the film. It was a sleeper hit that kept growing week after week. It seemed like everyone had seen it except me.

Properties that most likely won’t return to Halloween Horror Nights – DePaoli on DeParks

As a kid, I always thought that if an attraction was in a Universal Studios theme park, that meant it was a Universal film. As I grew older, I started to recognize that isn’t the case, and that a lot of the time, intellectual properties are licensed in order to use certain characters in the parks. A great example is “Beetlejuice.” For a long time, I thought this was a Universal character since he was featured so much in the park. I was surprised to find out that that film was distributed by Warner Bros. It was equally as confusing at a younger age with everything at Disney-MGM Studios.
