Orlando theme parks forced to close because of too many guests
Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom among parks at capacity
Guests and tourists flocked to Orlando theme parks Wednesday, forcing officials to close some of the parks because they have reached capacity.
Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando and Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World have been temporarily closed until some guests leave.
Currently at Disney, only annual pass holders, resort guests and some guests entering from other Disney parks are allowed into Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
A news helicopter showed video of cars backed up outside a Universal Orlando entrance.
Blizzard Beach, a Disney water park, did not open Wednesday because of cool weather. High temperatures in Orlando reached the 60s, but it was a brisk morning in Central Florida.
SeaWorld's water park, Aquatica, and Wet 'N' Wild were open.
During peak times, such as holidays and spring break, it's not uncommon for some of the parks to temporarily close because of attendance.
