Phase Closings

Does anyone else want to wait 2 and a half hours for Space Mountain and/or Soarin'? Me too.

After going on those tons of times I wouldn't wait more than 20min to ride those anymore

Right now, 3 rides are (apparently) over 100 minutes at Islands of Adventure. Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem also has a 120+ minute wait. And Revenge of the Mummy has a 20 minute wait.

I just use fanmade wait time apps as examples, since they aren't really accurate. Universal needs to jump in and make their own, since you can only trust Disney's app for accuracy.

Agreed!

Uni can't even run a twitter account. You expect them to run a wait times app?

With the right team behind it, yes.

How hard can it be to update an app with wait times when they're updating the sign with the wait times? I'm sure it's a little more complicated but there's no reason they can't do it. That's easier than teaching them how to properly use social media.

What app?

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

What app?

The one by VersaEdge. I used Undercover Tourist for a while but it kept on crashing.

MK reached Phase 3 about an hour ago, it's only a matter of time before Phase 4 kicks in.

I would bet that Universal doesn't want a wait times app. Many tourists might cancel their trip if they were able to see the wait times.

250 min wait for Test Track right now

No way in hell I'm waiting over 4 hours for anything. That is just about 1/4 of your day right there for one ride.

Have you seen their current app? Or the HHN app?

They're seriously the worst.

Then have it location locked so it can only be used inside the parks.

Yeah it is bad. I tried using it a few times when I was there last year and just gave up on it. I still don't think it would be too hard to include wait times into the app though.

:stunned: Soarin' is also at 250.

That's insane. In 250 minutes you could watch LOTR: Return of the King Extended Edition in its entirety. No way I would wait 250 minutes for anything.

Who knows, maybe someone is in line for TT or Soarin' watching ROTK: EE on their iPad

 

[Hockeyman55]

Of taking pics with their iPads :fist:
