Favorite thing about USH is the movie history. We have limited access (but still some) to walk around on the backlot. Still breathtaking thinking about the history there. I also love the guests that come in that have not been to USH in 20+ years and seeing them leave with smiles on their faces.Hope you don't mind, but I'll continue asking a few questions. Haha. I appreciate you taking the time to do this, and I' m surprised others haven't asked anything yet (now's your chance!).
What's your favorite thing about working at Universal? And if you're willing, a pet peeve?
lets see. In my area, i am one of the highest paying areas that isnt a supervisor or salaried or isnt part of the tour. Not too sure about other areas, but ours have had some "lifers" for 5+ years.How much opportunity is there to make a career at the theme park? A descent paying one that is.
funny story about the Victoria Station building: Annual Pass Center has this weird hallway connected there too. unfortunaly not too sure about the actual building. I still hope for some of the vision plan to build new soundstages and to make the older ones near transformers rides/shows/attractions ala USOIs there any empty space left in the old Victoria Station building, or does House of Horror, Photoland, and the Globe Theatre kitchen take up the entire space? Can you think of any large empty spaces in the park that could acommodate a D-Ticket dark ride like E.T.?
I have a question about the loud part. We had a discussion about The Mummy Ride... I am sure I have seen almost everyone there wearing earplugs, my reasoning was that the place is too loud and is a regulation to wear them, is any of this true?literally i was in the last training team of the GE stuff; my trainer said in 6 months this stuff wont matter and you will learn all new "rules".
Yes the park is too loud. In my area, it is one of the complants from employees and guests.
What a coincidence, Simpsons opened in 2008....I'll step in and give an larger answer on this: it was uh, not good. 2008/2009 were considered some of the darkest years for the park.
No coincidence. One of the hallmarks of the Simpsons was the fact that it was done on the cheap. Was considered a "feature" for the top executive brass over at General Electric.What a coincidence, Simpsons opened in 2008....
Haha I know, just poking fun at my faaaavorite rideNo coincidence. One of the hallmarks of the Simpsons was the fact that it was done on the cheap. Was considered a "feature" for the top executive brass over at General Electric.
I knew it!!!I'll step in and give an larger answer on this: it was uh, not good. 2008/2009 were considered some of the darkest years for the park.
Yes it's a regulation due to loud noise for both Mummy and Transformers. The general park audio has been significantly lowered throughout the years.
Really?! Maybe I'm more talkative now than I was in the past, but I simply can't get through one day without straining my voice whenever I'm at the park with a friend or guest.The general park audio has been significantly lowered throughout the years.
