An image widely-circulated on Twitter shows some damage to a ticket booth at the park. However, USJ is open for the day.
Wait time apps show a number of rides are experiencing longer waits while others have yet to start up.
Among the attractions currently operating are Harry Potter, Flight of the Hippogriff, Final Fantasy, Spider-Man, and attractions in Universal Wonderland.
