Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

It’s very quick, similar to FJ. Cool tip is that for rerides you can hop back in the single rider queue without retrieving your stuff from the lockers. The single rider lockers (and staircase to the SR queue) are attached to the gift shop, so it’s easy to go around and around without having to totally exit the building and reenter the queue from the front entrance.

Thats a brilliant trick to know, thanks for that!

I'm definitely going to have to rewatch Bride of Frankenstein and Young Frankenstein before my October visit.

8 years ago today (May 22nd, 2017), this trailer dropped...

meant for the big screen, but spooky how it applies to today in an unexpected EPIC way.

This reminds me that I never posted my opening day shirt...

They should have a photo op where you pose in that announcement photo.

And then photoshop you into it so you can ALSO star in your own not-actually-happening movie.

Heard from multiple team members that this isn't a limited item by any means too.

Happy to hear this, though I do think that they should just put it up for purchase on the Universal Orlando online store like they did later prints of the Halloween Horror Nights vinyl.

Hopefully, because I'm banking on it being still available in January.

So that basically forces non-resort guests to have to rope drop Berk if they want to have any hope of any kind of savings (because it sounds like they're letting guests queue up in Wizarding World even if attractions aren't technically open).

Counterpoint: Opening more attractions will spread resort/early entry guests across more queues, lowering wait times across the board. This assumes the number of resort/early entry guests stays relatively constant, but you still see benefits as crowds increase.

I guess? But is somebody going to feel like they got any advantage first thing in the morning if they have to wait 40 minutes instead of a hypothetical 50 or 60? I really only see rope-dropping as being successful if you can walk onto something halfway significant to start your day.

I prefer the old Disney model, where only one park per day had early resort access, so non-resort guests could avoid that park. I wish Disney would bring that back, and I wish Universal would move to a similar system.

But also heard AP discount won’t work because it’s limited . So who knows.
