Orlando Theme Parks Flyover
It’s kind of sad, but fascinating too. We thankfully don’t see the parks look like this often. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time before our Florida theme parks are busy again. A news helicopter in Orlando offered this look of Universal Orlando and the Disney Parks. A few workers are seen, but for the most part the parks are deserted.
HAPPENING NOW: Our NBC affiliate WESH 2 News is flying over tourist attractions to show the impact of businesses closing temporarily for the COVID-19 outbreak. https://bit.ly/3bcuRTl
