Peppa Pig Theme Park Closes; Disney World Updates

As Hurricane Helene hits Florida, the state’s theme parks are responding.

Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida announced it will close its doors on Friday, September 27, after the storm damaged the preschool attractions.

“The safety and comfort of our guests and employees is our top priority. Guests who already have tickets are encouraged to check the Rainy Day Promise on our website,” the park told visitors.

Hurricane Helene is producing winds of up to 140 miles per hour and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has warned that more deaths are likely after a motorist was killed by debris.

Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp said two people died in Wheeler County. “We call on all Georgians to prepare for further impacts from Helene, to remain vigilant and to pray for all those affected,” he said.

Other major Florida theme parks are expected to release updates Friday morning, including Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon was temporarily closed Thursday while Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was canceled.

Universal Orlando Resort said it expects to “fully reopen” after the storm hit certain attractions on Friday. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios have been halted and Universal Volcano Bay has been closed.

SeaWorld Orlando closed at 2 p.m. Thursday but is expected to reopen Friday. Busch Gardens Tampa, Adventure Island and Aquatica Orlando are expected to welcome visitors after closing Thursday.

The Legoland Florida Resort was operating normally on Thursday.
