Put me in the group that doesn't go to DHS anymore because most of it doesn't exist at the moment lol

While it's easy to say that really two not that popular attractions left. The big headliners are still there. DHS has never been a park with many attractions.

Yes I realize that, just that because of the size of the park now the crowds are all closer together and the few rides that are left have wait times higher than the tower of terror. I can see DHS being my favorite park once SWL opens though

We always went in this way. Never a line for security.

Us, too. Oh well.

I know, thanks.

Just trying to be slightly humorous and brain storm about why attendance at the water parks isn't near as high as the theme parks.

Oh... I didn't catch the sarcasm, my bad!

My humor is somewhat of an acquired taste. Sometimes it's also hard to find the humor (because I'm probably not always that funny, but I try).

I just haven't gotten to "know" you yet, that's all! I've read some other stuff on these boards that I would swear is sarcasm and it turns out the person is serious.

I've used this entrance many times. I didn't realize it was a secret.

I guess it's the same as EPCOT. People getting off the monorail don't seem to know there's a 2nd entrance on the side opposite the monorail ramp.

Second entrance makes it sound like its a second place to use your magic band to enter... it was just the entrance over by the side guest services window. It's been there forever. I discovered it probably 7-8 years ago when we started renting cars because we were fed up with how terrible Disney Busses were... When you park in the lot and begin your walk because your smart enough not to wait for those smelly, noisy trams, you'll notice the the path splits and if you take the left path you end up on the other side of the busses to the "secret side entrance" and if you follow the masses to right like a school of fish, you'll end up through the normal entrance.

More because of sun and shame - but we typically wear a swim shirt at the waterparks - both my wife and I. In fact, my wife has taken to wearing the swim shirt when we are going on things like Kali RR. She actually has about the same coverage in the water parks as in the theme parks.

I do think there's some of "a water park is not an all day event" whereas a theme park is.

I just think Universal ,management is fooling themselves if they think the general public is going to treat their water park differently than they treat TL/BB. It may well be the greatest water park in the history of water parks - but it's still going to be a water park, and a large percent of the population won't go.

Admittedly they are sort of treating it that way with their pricing, the fact that they still have a 2-park ticket and a 3-park ticket says they realize not everyone will want to go to all three. There is a $40 upcharge to have a 3-park ticket versus a 2-park ticket.

I also want to say...I asked earlier about what they will being doing to existing APs, but I can already guess - they won't include Volcano Bay. You will have to pay some sort of upcharge to upgrade your AP to have all 3 parks.

And I hear they are going to have a table service restaurant? This I really don't get--in wet swim wear?

I like the Rivers of Light musical composition - reminds me A LOT of the Brother Bear transformation sequence (music and animals on the tapestry of light).

I'm so happy about this news!!!

 

[ICTVgrad07]

wow, didn't realize it was open air. For most this might be a deal breaker but as someone who loves the pool bars, I think I like it.

Heard that there are retractable walls for when it gets cold
