My first visit to a theme park in over a year and I was quite happy with Universal's effort. Going into the re-opening we all know there are levels of restrictions Universal does not control. Also we know they have a brand new ride a major update to 2019's new ride and the obvious growing pains of being closed for over 1 year. I was pleasantly surprised that everything seemed very well organized and the staff was at their best. Every red shirt, ride op and cleaning staff were very friendly. The signage and sanitization efforts were very good. I like the idea of sanitizing every time someone goes on a ride. The staff was cordial about reminding guests about masks and yes there were quite a few Maksholes everywhere. SLOP line was a mess but they did their best to space people apart and get the line organized. Again I don't judge the operations at this point because we all know what the limitations are. Rides are going to have long lines even at 25% capacity. I think they are doing their best and as restrictions get better we will see a better operating park. I felt safe and had a good time. I would recommend if people really want a good experience they should probably invest in Express for the near future. It makes a world of difference.
