Twister Closing at Universal Studios Florida
Universal is shutting another attraction -- at least until "spring" (whenever that might be).
Last week it was Fear Factor, this week it's Twister.
Two thoughts:
1. They are educating people that coming during the slow periods is a bad idea, since the park will be substantially less enjoyable.
2. They are telling the entire world: "WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!!" Why don't they put up a big sign at the entrance, just for good measure?

It will be a limited number of attractions within Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. He said visitors shouldn't experience problems, because the attraction hours will be aligned with demand.
Staffing will also be impacted by reductions, the Universal representative said.
All team members will remain active, so there will be no layoffs. However, team members' hours will be affected.
