My son volunteered us to ride on the float to throw beads. We have not been selected, but are passholders. Has anyone done this? Is it fun or sounds better than it actually is?
We actually got a phone call to our room phone inviting us to participate, but we couldn't the first day, and then the second day it rained.
Does anyone know if there are age restrictions? Next trip I will have teenagers with me. I wasn't sure if they could do it or not.
Also, if you do get picked, please be careful with the throwing. Some of the people throwing the beads were really chunking them to the point it hurt when they hit you. I got hit in the face and head a few times pretty hard. I felt like the dummy for a target practice session. I've never experienced that before at Universal or in New Orleans, so I'm thinking it was just overzealous park guests who were really excited about getting to throw those beads!
The area to got to is over in the Barney section.
Yes, we had a blast doing it. I'm looking forward in a few weeks of doing it again. Just like pcstang said, we walked over at a last minute thing. At first we were told it's most likely we would not get on. But snout 15 minutes later we all got on the same float.
