I get why that failed because that's not a normal queue area, still not excusable. I belive they've fixed it overnight.
True. Usually that's a walkway. However.....during the summer, around closing (or when there's inclement weather and guests all try to leave at once), it will get congested, even filling up the tunnel. Universal knows this happens. They know they have to have extra Security TMs for crowd control during those times. So they should have anticipated this. And yes, I believe the situation was addressed.

They have markings in the tunnel (I noticed them Wednesday and Friday). I even commented on them “why would they need markers all the way here?” But they didn’t have them on the ramp.
Well, now we know why they needed them in the tunnel. They just didn’t use them.
Ah yes, true! I noticed the ones in the tunnel as well, going in opposite directions. Like why would they just stop at the tunnel? It's like they ran out of them for the ramp, lol.
Can anyone report on wait times the last few days? I'll be in the area next month and im trying to decide if i want to stop at VB.
Oh good. They did exactly what we thought they should. Remove the seating and expand the run.

Yes and no.
It added a need (Body-slides) but we lost another need (Mats). We were guessing body slides as an extension anyway, so if we just swap, that's cool w/ me.
Though they might avoid it entirely now since they could be gun-shy.
We have a dedicated Punga thread now.
I felt they need a proper, racing mat slide anyway. This gives them the excuse to make it happen!
Punga had the fun speed but was missing the racing aspect and a big drop
These are basically the water park version of the fariground Fun Slide
Therefore, racing your friends and some fun bunny hops make it so much fun
Aquatica and Adventure Island have them and they are my favorite kind of slides!
