Hundreds banned from Halloween Horror Nights

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Universal has kicked out hundreds of underage drinkers from its Halloween Horror Nights event this year. Universal ejected 127 people for posession of alcohol in one Friday and Saturday night alone.

Universal Orlando has been known for exceptionally harsh punishment in the past. The Orlando Sentinel chronicles one such case:

"Kathy Sherback, 47, of Tampa said she, her then-18-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter were banished for life from Universal's CityWalk dining district Sept. 5 after security saw her son holding her margarita.

"That case led to criminal charges when the Sherbacks' encounter with Universal security and Orlando police became heated and turned into a physical confrontation.

"But it all started, she said, when she handed her drink to her son to hold while she fished around in a bag she was carrying."
