ROTFL no, I believe what your meant to do is put them in one of those grocery bags they give you at candy stores and weigh them and then pay for them lol... But I may be wrong...
Nope, you are right. When I was there there was a sign above them saying the price.

Kind of OT a bit...(although this DOES mention HP in it), but has anyone seen/taken the Blue Skies survey from Universal? I did, and I must say I'm intrigued. There were many new ideas thrown around...one that caught my eye in particular was Lord of the Rings. LOTR is one of my many obsessions, and I think I'd die and go to heaven if they incorporated it somehow. I have many ideas for them if they'd like

Anyways, here's the survey:

For those who don't want to look at it, some things that were throw around were a third park, Dora the Explorer, Barney, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, South Park, Family Guy, E.T., Santa, and a few others (including Twilight. Which completely does not belong in a theme park). Main questions about LOTR were places we'd like to see, characters we'd like to see represented, merchandise, and what kinds of attractions would be fitting.
Take it with a grain of salt, of course. But I thought it was exciting. I'm sure some of you have seen this already, just thought I'd post it here.

By the way, in order to see the Blue Skies survey, you must fill out the information beforehand. Then scroll to the bottom of the page after clicking exit, and select the appropriate survey

My bad. That was already posted in the Universal Misc. section of the forums...but I did want to post it here as well...so go check out the "third park rumor" thread for more info. It looks like the surveys were somewhat randomized, because I never got questions about Grand Theft Auto, while others have.
