Hundreds of Universal Orlando visitors seen crammed into lines with NO social distancing and masks missing in scary vid
UNIVERSAL Orlando Resort hit full capacity 10 MINUTES after opening for the second day in a row as visitors crammed through its doors.
At 8am this morning, Universal ground to a halt as images showed crowds disregarding social distancing and not wearing masks - despite 's surging numbers.
"By the time we walked up to Islands of Adventure, which is supposed to open at 8am…We walked up at about 8:15 or 8:20 and they were already at capacity and we could not get in," Nathan said.
"As far as you could see, there were people in a standby line. It was unbelievable."
The worrying images come as the Sunshine State recorded 287.000 infections this month - with the total number of infections there now surpassing 1.3 million.
The Department of Health also reported 137 more fatalities today - bringing the death toll in Florida to 21,546.
Universal said in a statement: "We have been working to give our guests a great experience while we manage park attendance and access to our attractions as part of our COVID health and safety protocols.
