I've been saying this for a while but if they made high quality tiki mugs like these I would spend so much money: Tiki Mugs

Yea I’d want better mugs and some actual atmosphere. The Watering Hole has little actual atmosphere, and I’d like to see something that feels a little less...impersonal
Eh, a light retheme of The Watering Hole would be fine if they put a real Trader Vic's into the old Tchoup Chop.
I guy can dream.
MONDO!! Love those tiki mugs. True Austinite style! I got two myself through Alamo Drafthouse.
I definitely agree Isla Nubar should happen!
A second bartender most of the time would help or an alcohol only window/line but that might not be the look they are going for here.

Do what Trader Sam’s does; if you want to keep the mug you can pay the $40-60, but if not it’s just the normal Theme Park Highway Robbery (tm)

There would need to be some serious levels of construction to get the Watering Hole to become the bar we want it to be. Right now it's just a counter service location that happens to have booze; what it needs to go to is something more aiken to Backwater. This might seem trivial but a lot of demo and remodeling would be needed to add the new bar equipment they'd need (washing stations, glass storage, liquor bottle storage/well, mixing areas, etc).
Personally, I think it'd be worth it for Universal to just demo the whole area, push the bar to the left towards Hogsmeade and add more storage for mugs, liquor, etc. Add a new patio that goes towards the new coaster, almost like a treehouse vibe with large palms sticking through the deck.

We gotta remember too that it's not just the Watering Hole... it's The Coca-Cola Watering Hole. They're the sponsor for it, and I love that it has an actual bar, but I think the main purpose to support soda sales and Coke branding.
As a person with an inordinate preoccupation with collecting theme park drinkware, I'm in favor of any scenario that results in more Jurassic Park-specific souvenir glasses/mugs/what-have-you.
This is the kind of atmospheric stuff that I hope gets added to the land. A lot of the land feels impersonal right now.
Check out Mondo's Jurassic Park tiki mugs. They're gigantic (more akin to a vase really), but I love mine.

What Legacy said, how is this a sleeper? It's getting plenty of coverage and the general consensus is people are pretty excited for it (myself included). Sleeper hits are made when something is overlooked/doesn't get much coverage -and- people aren't too excited for it.

This is probably the most anticipated coaster of 2021, especially in the US. Not that that's saying a lot.
Not a sleeper hit at all. We're looking at another Iron Gwazi sized megahit.

I meant I don't think people are prepared for this. It's probably going to be the best coaster in Orlando behind Mako.
If Hagrid tells me anything...Intamin can do a good job silencing it.

Gotcha', that makes a lot more sense. Easier saying people are gonna' be surprised by the intensity of it (can say the same for Iron Gwazi), since sleeper hit isn't the best description for it.
