Universal Orlando Closes Attraction Yesterday to Honor Team Member who Passed Away

Universal Studios Florida closed E.T. Adventure yesterday to honor ride lead Michael Skipper who had passed away Sunday night.

Michael Skipper was heading home from a 4th of July celebration with his son, Mikey, when another vehicle came into their lane and struck them head on. Skip died on impact and Mikey died shortly after being transferred to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.
