ORLANDO, Fla. — Some drone shows in Central Florida are now canceled following an incident at Lake Eola that left a child injured.

Orlando World Center Marriott announced they've canceled several nights of drone shows that were scheduled to being Christmas night.

The show is operated by Sky Elements, that company that ran the Lake Eola show Saturday night.

Universal Studios Orlando also announced it has paused the drone component of its nightly entertainment, but it's unclear which company operated that show.

A statement from a Universal spokesperson reads:

"We have currently paused the drone component of Cinesational: A Symphonic Spectacular. Guests can still enjoy the show nightly at Universal Studios Florida."
