Over at Universal Studios Florida, we spotted a crew working in the lagoon on the fountain platform. This is an interesting view with the water level lowered and the platform fully visible.

Over at Islands of Adventure, we made our way over to Seuss Landing and noticed one of the plexiglass dividers at Green Eggs and Ham had fallen over. These dividers on wheels don’t seem to be very safe.

A little while later, we went back and spotted Team Members inspecting the dividers and then removing them all from the area. We applaud Universal for taking action so quickly.

We were shocked by the low crowds in Hogsmeade this afternoon. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was only at a 60 minute wait when we walked by and we really didn’t see any line at all.
