Universal Orlando cancels drone shows after child seriously injured
Universal Orlando has halted its night time drone displays after a young child was critically injured by a falling drone.
It happened during the ‘Universal CineSational’ drone show at Lake Eola Park in Orlando last week.
“We have currently paused the drone component of CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular,” the company said.
Festive drone shows planned at Orlando World Center Marriott have also been postponed.
The CineSational show featured 600 drones.
The drones flew in formation depicting famous movie scenes such as a Jaws and Ghostbusters with a cinematic soundtrack.
The show will continue at Universal but without the drone displays.
The young boy was struck by a falling drone in the chest and underwent heart surgery.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
