Oh no, don't spoil it. Too much attention is just gonna turn loose a bunch of sleuths who will reverse-engineer the time the photos were taken, cross it against ADS-B tracks, and put an end to the fun.

Their most recent images were taken at Universal's Epic Universe, and a quick glance at the recordings from the previous day on Flightradar24 reveals that one helicopter has been repeatedly circling this location over the past few days while doing nothing else. At least two other helicopters I noticed did this as well, but not as frequently. (I'm not saying that this must be this person, but it could be very likely)

It isn't difficult to discover this, so Universal Studios probably would have done something about it by now (I guess?).

EDIT: The helicopter seems to be owned by a company that does tours of all the theme parks there: https://www.orlandohelitours.com/

What could universal do about it? I don't think they could easily get a restricted airspace above their parks, even if under construction.

And why would they want to? This is free marketing/advertising for them.

The way it's going, DeInsanetis is probably going to order F15's to fly sorties over and B52's to drop bombs on Disney World.
