Universal Studios

Universal Studios at this point of time is one of my favorite Theme Parks that I have ever gone to. The park just provides me with a lot of things that I personally like including offering a ton of dark rides that are thrilling with carts that are big enough for a large person like me to be able to ride. Of course, there are some limitations at the park for larger people, but there is more than enough fun and rides for everyone that not fitting on a ride is rarely an issue here.

Disney World & Universal Studios Shuts Down Parks In Orlando As Coronavirus hits United States

I can probably say that this has been one of the craziest things and scariest things I have seen in my lifetime. 9-11 was the closest, but this has taken it to a level I never could have imagined it would go.

Then concerts, schools, churches, and now we have the world’s greatest theme parks following suit and closing their parks
