As Hurricane Helene approaches Florida, major theme parks in the state are closely monitoring the situation and making necessary adjustments to their operations. The decision to close theme parks during tropical storms or hurricanes depends on various factors, including the storm’s trajectory, severity, and potential impact on Orlando and Central Florida.
Hurricane Helene’s Status
Hurricane Helene, which became a Category 1 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, is forecast to intensify significantly before making landfall over Florida’s Big Bend region. Although the storm’s projected path is several hours north of the theme parks, its effects could still be felt in the Orlando area.
