A process that took years to develop is coming to an end. We previously reported on the family of a Universal Orlando guest, Jose Calderon Arana, who is suing the theme park company after Arana passed away after an experience on Skull Island: Kong Kingdom’s attraction to the Islands of Adventure.

José suffered a cardiovascular incident after leaving the Skull Island attraction: Reign of Kong. He did not speak English, according to the original account of the incident and therefore could not have read the warning signs about the attraction.
A recent US News report states that this process could end up requiring that all U.S. theme parks require that the warning signs be in Spanish.
The Arana family lawyer, Lou Pendas, said the following about the process, asking for the obligatory signage in Spanish at the theme parks:
“This is not a crazy request or expectation. In fact, it is quite basic these days. You are asking about international travelers. This is the mecca of tourism. This is something very basic that must be thought out for the safety of customers. “
While Universal’s attractions provide images on their warning signs, they do not include a translation of the text into Spanish.
