Well, I guess a lot of people thought Monday would not be busy. The whole day was packed all the way until closing time. FJ was a 60 minute wait at 10 P.M. Geez.

I don't think FJ is worth a wait over an hour if you've done it before. It was great the first and second time before, but today it was meh. Probably because I had to wait for 75 minutes. I can't wait to go in the fall.

Hippogriff however just keeps growing on me. I love this little coaster. DC is very dull with the stupid new queue and the bored-ness of the TMs in the ride. Ugh.

Bottomline, crowd there are unbearable. I'll stick to USF and SeaWorld until September.

On the brighter side, I have never seen USF wait times look so beautiful :)

Hey mantaguy! I almost thought I saw you today, and I flipped, but you were too far. What time did you walk into FJ?

:lol: EXACTLY!

Oh yeah. The people who I rode DC with were mental. Totally kookoo in the head.

And people were clapping and cheering and chanting, "HARRY POTTER!" Were they HAPPY to be waiting in that line???

There are two things I don't understand about theme parks: people who don't mind waiting in long lines at all, and Brazilian tour groups (or should I say stampedes?).

Ok, so this is now the thread of shopping and times to arrive and pigmy puffs? Do I pretty much have this accurate? Just trying to understand that this is not the thread for me any longer. This is not the place to post technical details or dark secrets of the creation of the park itself. This is now the happy travel planning thread. Am I understanding this correctly? Just want post in the correct thread... if there is one for me.

No one can stop you from posting what you want, as long as it's respectful. If it relates to the topic, then please share whatever you can.

Well . . . I guess the crowds dieing out was sort of inevitable, seeing as how it is summer after all. . . . Jully 11th can't come fast enough!

Gawd I was behind a bunch of Brazilians in line for Ripsaw, and the TMs were being stupid about getting people on fast. It was hot and awful.

Oh, never mind then. :/
Regardless, the park did really stay full throughout the whole darn day. Wow. Just wow.

Well, you must admit that some of those Brazilians are both hot and awful. Yet again, Teebin digresses. Sorry.

This'll be my first time going to Universal in about 5 years (or whenever Mummy opened). We actually had season passes and did go in the summer once or twice. I don't really remember any Brazilian tour groups. Are they really that bad?

I doubt you'll get them. All the times I've been to Universal (which is once or twice a year), I've never experienced one. If you do see one, just make sure to get ahead of their path of destruction.

:lol: Not the old wrinkly ones!

I also cannot imagine how people can wear those $100 robes in this heat and humidity. It must be suicide.

I saw today how the wand floats in the Olly's window. It's in white text for those who don't want to know: It's simply attatched to very fine clear thread. Similar to fishing line. It looks perfect from far away, but you can clearly see where it's attatched up close.

If you don't mind loud singing teenagers in groups of thousands, they're fine. I'm just warning you, if you see that neon flag raised high in the air, I suggest you run.

Yes. They totally either disregard or do not understand the basic rules of not only theme parks, but manners. They will create an impassible barricade across the path. They will throw trash on the ground right next to a trash can. They will talk in rapid Portugese that will make your head unscrew! And this is all from personal experience over the years. One time at SeaWorld one person spit on my shoe! :ack:

Haha, it's okay! I apologize for any uninteresting tweets between now and.... 7am. I should probably crawl into bed, huh?
