Universal's "Getting Closer to Normal" Guidelines

[shiekra38]

Thank you!


Thank you! I hate the smell of their hand sanitizer and always bring my own. But my one kid prefers anything but what I bring. Go figure....LOL

Oh yeah they'll chase you down if you walk by them without getting sanitized

 

[Moistowlette11]

Yeah they do, and you also still get it before you ride


And it still smells weird as hell

And it feels weird too… slimey

Lots of aloe vera in it I guess, it feels even slimier when later on you wash your hands with water.

Feel bad someone had to go through it. I mean do we really need to know what is going on with that ride? The lack of preshow may be a feature and not a bug.

“Hey Tej, just welcoming all these good people to our family...except for him. He’s still not vaccinated.”

"The party's here, the party's now, time to act a fool!" really is the Summer 2021 motto.

 

[Coolbfitz]

That sucks, hoping singles return for this one soon.
(...and yes, I like this ride in an ironic sense.)

I’ve been on F&F since covid hit and always had preshows? Did they stop them recently?

Yep.
Last time I rode FF (two months ago) in the second preshow room they sat there and told us car jokes -_-

 

[Allomancer]

Car jokes? I hope they referenced Wandavision with something like "Hondavision."

No sanitizer being given to guests on rides today.

Makes sense, since surface transmission seems to be low, but man I did like it because people are gross. :grin:

Is sanitizer still widely-available (and just no longer mandatory before riding), or has it been scaled-back altogether?

Honestly, plentiful hand sanitizer is one of the changes I was hoping would stick around. But I guess management would prefer I purchase some in the gift shops!

I'll bring my own.

Totally agree, I wanted that to stick around.

Seems to be gone completely in ride queues. Exit queues still have stations, but only 50% of those even have sanitizer in them (and it’s been like that all week).

Been here all week and every ride has been giving sanitizer before you ride and stations are full after you left ride. Only exception we found found is hogwarts express

What rides did you hit today? HRRR, Mummy, Transformers, MIB, Simpsons, ET, all did not. Maybe its a USF thing. Heading to IOA shortly so we shall see.

Prior to today, every ride had it all week.

Today we saw it on Spiderman,
Kong, Jurassic Park(none there) Hogwart Express from Hogsmeade (no). They may be phasing it out to put in dispensers at the start of some rides but all the after show Purel boxes were full that we used.

Just came off Transformers and they had two dispensers before the ride and after, but no cast members manually providing sanitizer.

I’m at Studios now, but haven’t ridden anything. Was at Volcano this morning and they gave sanitizer on the Aquacoaster, but nothing else.

Rode FJ, JPRA, Kong, Spider-Man, Hulk, Cat in the Hat, and Trolley, no sanitizer on any.

Asked the loading TM on Spider-Man (ha I know, take that for what it’s worth) and he said it is optional now, followed by “oh do you want some?”. We bring our own so no prob, but I did like the practice. Oh well.

Edit: some of these have dispensers now, only a few worked. Maybe I just have bad luck there.

We switched to Hard Rock from CBBR today and HRH has one of the best things I’ve seen. I hope it sticks around.

For years, I’ve been that guy that brings a ziploc bag to put the room remote in before I touch it. Did that at CBBR. The remote at HRH has a clear plastic baggy-sleeve around it! Genius!
