Universal Studios Hollywood has announced the closure of its theme park and Universal CityWalk due to extreme winds and fire conditions in Southern California. The decision to close the gates on Wednesday was made in response to the multiple wildfires that are currently raging in the region.
In a statement, Universal Studios Hollywood stated, 'Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk will be closed today as a result of the extreme winds and fire conditions. We will continue to assess the situation and expect to open for business tomorrow. The safety of our team members and our guests is our top priority.'
The closure comes as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of both employees and visitors to the popular entertainment destination. With wildfires posing a significant threat in the area, the decision to temporarily shut down operations reflects the park's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of all individuals on the premises.
As the situation continues to evolve, Universal Studios Hollywood will monitor the conditions closely and provide updates as necessary. The theme park anticipates reopening for business once the fire conditions improve and it is deemed safe to resume normal operations.
For now, guests and employees are encouraged to stay informed about the ongoing developments and adhere to any safety guidelines issued by local authorities. Universal Studios Hollywood remains dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for all individuals and will take all necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of its staff and visitors.
