Four people have been reportedly banned from Universal Studios in Orlando after they were photographed making white supremacy signs and Nazi salutes while on a ride.
The group were snapped making the Nazi salute and a white supremacy hand gesture while riding the ‘Revenge of the Mummy’ attraction at the park on Sunday.
Sunday was one of the park’s Passholder Appreciation Days and the photo was shared to the Annual Passholder group’s closed Facebook group.
The image was then shared to Reddit, Twitter and across social media.

The group all made the Nazi salute with one arm, and used the other to make an ‘OK’ hand gesture, which has recently become associated with supremacist groups.
The common ‘OK’ gesture was used in a trolling campaign by controversial website 4Chan, who claimed the W-P shape made by the hand meant White Power. But the sign has since been appropriated by actual supremacists too, the Anti-Defamation League says.
People soon blasted the Universal Studios image as being offensive and asked for the amusement park to act.
