Family Sues Universal Following Death, Asks For Spanish Warning Signs

A lawsuit that has been years in the making is reaching an ending point. #We have previously reported on the family of a #Universal #Orlando #Guest, #Jose #Calderon #Arana, who is suing the theme park company after #Arana passed away following an experience on the #Skull #Island: #Reign of #Kong attraction at #Islands of #Adventure.

#Jose suffered a cardiovascular incident after he got off of the #Skull #Island: #Reign of #Kong attraction. #He did not speak #English, according to the original incident report, and therefore could not have read the warning signs about the attraction.

A recent report by US #News claims that this lawsuit could end up requiring all U.S theme parks to require warning signs to be in #Spanish.

The #Arana family’s attorney #Lou #Pendas had this to say about the lawsuit, asking for the requirement of warning signs to be in #Spanish at theme parks:

“This isn’t a crazy request or expectation. #It’s actually quite basic in this day and age,#You are asking for international travelers. #This is a mecca for tourism. #This is a very basic thing that should be thought of for the safety of patrons.”

#While the #Universal attractions do provide images on their warning signs, they do not include a #Spanish translation of the text.
