Universal’s Florida Theme Parks See Few Guests on Reopening

Universal theme parks in Florida drew few guests for their reopening Friday, suggesting consumers are still reluctant to travel and gather in crowds after nearly three months of virus-related shutdowns.

Comcast Corp.’s Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure resorts welcomed members of the general public for the first time since early March. Visitors shared photos of near-empty streets in the parks, and Universal’s app showed wait times of as little as five minutes for rides such as Doctor Doom’s Fearfall and the Incredible Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure.
