Universal Orlando has removed the drone component of its nighttime show, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular.
This decision was confirmed by a spokesperson for the company, who stated, “We have currently paused the drone component of CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular. Guests can still enjoy the show nightly at Universal Studios Florida.”
Although Universal did not disclose specific reasons for the pause, the announcement comes after an incident during a nighttime drone show over the weekend at Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando, where several small drones collided and fell into a crowd. One of the drones hit a 7-year-old boy, who was taken to the hospital for his injuries. On Sunday, he underwent open-heart surgery due to his chest injury.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are conducting an investigation into the incident that took place in Downtown Orlando.
Universal Orlando has not shared further information regarding the future of the drone element in CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular.
