According to a WESH 2 news report, authorities say Spectacular Blue Smith was walking toward a ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom when he made a sneezing gesture and said “coronavirus.” A statement, which a cast member told Smith was not funny.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of a cast member being attacked by a park guest this year. On October 25, a guest to Disney’s Animal Kingdom reportedly assaulted a security guard for no apparent reason. In a report from Police describing the crime, the attack was said to have occurred due to the guest experiencing “excited delirium.”
According to Orlando Sentinel, authorities arrested 19-year-old James Arvid and charged him with battery on a security guard. Per a recently released sheriff’s report, it’s been alleged that the young man tackled a security guard from behind by the DinoLand USA area of the park.
According to a sheriff’s report, Arvid was described as being “in a state of excited delirium and unexpected strength.” An emergency room doctor was said to have reported that Arvid had showed signs of alcohol and drug use, along with heatstroke.
