Wizarding World guest suffers from heat stroke

[Master Yoda]

That's odd, I have been a Florida resident most of my life and have not heard many heat stroke reports. Our temperatures are usually not high enough, regardless of how hot it "feels". A 92 degree day in Orlando (which is what it was opening day) is pretty unbearable due to the humidity, but most people are probably not going to get heat stroke. It's just really, really uncomfortable. Places like Arizona are much more dangerous. It may feel more comfortable, but it is actually far hotter and heat stokes occur with much higher frequency. Am I wrong? It could be that people's discomfort in the Florida sauna causes them to want to drink more water, thus less occurrence of heat stroke.

While heat related deaths are much more common in lower humidity areas for many of the reasons you suggested, hyperthermia is very common in Florida. One of the biggest contributing factors is dehydration. Many people spend their lives on the edge of dehydration and when they are put in a situation like waiting for hours in the Florida sun it does not take long before serious problems can arise. Once you loose the ability to sweat like this woman did you are in serious trouble.

That's it. I can appreciate that standing in a 6-hour line in June Florida weather might be dangerous, and it would probably be difficult to stay hydrated the whole time without giving up your spot in line...but I guess my solution would be not to stand in a 6-hour line in June Florida weather.

I'm pretty confident that Universal couldn't have paid me to be out there last week...so it's just tough for me to sympathize with people who showed up. I think I would have had one look at the line and adjusted my vacation plans on the spot...no matter how much I had spent or how far I had come, it would have been Spider-Man or Dudley Do-Right that day. No theme park attraction is worth that.

No offense to anyone who was there and reading this thread. It's just my view.

I agree . But I would have planned my vacation for later in the year so that i wouldnt be standing in a 6 hour line

so - people would rather not look after themselves and wait in the blasting summer heat for something that will in fact be still standing *touch wood* in 3 weeks time?

Universal must not care about the wellbeing of their guests. This is all their fault. Every responsible park operator knows you're supposed to erect a giant dome over your park in order to sustain a proper climate and ensure guest safety.

Just don't invite Pauly Shore.

and wrap the guest up in cotton wool at the gate? and have a left common sense facility at the car park?

so that's why Walt Disney World doesn't do that... (that and then they can't do fireworks of any kind)
