Incident Details
The video, which quickly gained traction online, shows the guest wading through the water near CityWalk’s popular dining and shopping area. Guests are typically not allowed to enter or swim in the water surrounding CityWalk, which serves as an entertainment complex within Universal Orlando Resort. The incident raised eyebrows among other park-goers and social media users, many of whom expressed concern over the behavior and the potential safety risks involved.
Universal Orlando Resort maintains strict rules designed to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. The water surrounding CityWalk, while aesthetically pleasing, is not intended for swimming or recreational use. With the complex layout of the CityWalk area, as well as ongoing construction and maintenance around the water features, swimming is prohibited due to safety concerns.
Entering the water at CityWalk not only violates Universal’s guest conduct policies but can also be dangerous. The waters in these areas are not supervised by lifeguards, and there could be hidden hazards beneath the surface. The actions of the guest highlight the importance of following park guidelines, both for personal safety and for the safety of others around.
