On the walkway leading to the temperature screening area, ground markers have been completely removed. These markers reminded Guests to maintain a physical distance of 6-feet from other parties.

In place for nearly a year, the removal of the decals reveal relatively clean pavement.

The longer decals that were previously here markings for where Guests should stand while waiting in a queue.

Although Orange County, Florida Mayor Jerry Demings recently announced changes to physical distancing requirements, in-park guidelines are ultimately up to Universal.

  1. They may as well remove them….last time I was there, people absolutely ignored them and lined up behind me by only a matter of inches…

  2. Ahhh the days of having little 5 year old Timmy constantly running into my legs in line while his mother browses Instagram are back. Socially distanced queues were one of the bright spots of parks during the pandemic.

  3. As usual, the US is jumping the gun with this pandemic. It isn’t over. It isn’t even close to being over.
