Not only is it the most sought-after park reservation, Disney’s Hollywood Studios appears to be a hotbed for maskless activity, as yet another recent incident has been reported at the park.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, an elderly man was attacked at the park by members of a large, mostly maskless family after getting into an argument with them over their faulty use of face masks.
The family was attempting to take shelter by the restrooms near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, per the Orange County Sheriff’s Office report. One man punched the senior in the head before a woman from the family joined in. The elderly guest eventually fell on the ground due to the attack. While he was not seriously injured, the family left the park before the sheriff’s office could arrest anyone.
The incident took place on September 17, just two days after the infamous “Remember Hopper?” incident where a man tried to incite a rebellion against face masks by misquoting lines from the Disney Pixar film “A Bug’s Life”. Other face mask-related incidents and arrests have taken place at EPCOT, where a man hit a security guard in the head and threatened to kill him after he was repeatedly reminded to follow the new face mask rules.
Currently, face masks are required at all Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts (including Disney Springs) and must remain on at all times, unless socially distanced for eating and drinking.
