Dr. Seuss Enterprises, who just announced that six of their books would no longer be published is now having to re-evaluate “Seuss Landing” area of its theme park at Universal Studios.
The problem? The park is named after one of the now banned books called “If I Ran the Zoo.” Seuss Landing also features a gift shop of a different banned book called Mulberry Street Store.
A spokesperson said, “Seuss Landing continues to be very popular with our guests and we value our relationship with Seuss Enterprises. We’ve removed the books from our shelves as they have asked and we’ll be evaluating our in-park experience too. But our guests can plan on continuing to be able to enjoy their favorite experiences at Seuss Landing.”
