A major event is happening at Universal Studios Orlando this morning as a catastrophic power outage occurred right around 10 a.m. and put some attractions out of commission.
The Orlando Fire Department is on the scene at Universal Studios as the power outage has affected attractions such as Men In Black and Transformers: The Ride. Numerous restaurants and shops and operations were also affected.
