New bag check structure at IG entrance goes virtual

Vertical even. I was wondering how they were going to do virtual bag checks or why they'd release a virtual model of a bag check.

Ok, fair point .... Wouldn't a x-ray system be a virtual bag check, vs physically rifling through someone's bag?

I don’t understand why didn’t install xray machines at Hollywood. Much more efficient and thorough. I don’t like people touching my stuff anyways, would much rather they scan it. They ought to be installing them at all the parks as they redo the entrances.

I read/heard at one point that Disney thinks this is "friendlier" - to have a real person vs machine, but I agree with you

Muh less chance of breaking stuff too (I saw Craig from the DIS unplugged team recently tweet that a security guard slammed his bag down rather hard - a bag filled with camera equipment for the show)

We prefer the way Universal Orlando does it.

Really this would be much safer for the CMs too. I can't believe they never get cut or poked. Accidental needle sticks are a big deal and are fairly common among police and building cleaners.

Apparently there was a power surge and nearly every ride went down. They got us off PM pretty quick, they had a lot of experience from yesterday when it broke down multiple times.

I'm using my free FP on the Speedway, which I'm glad it's gas powered right now. The line for it is insane and they just added more cars to the track.

Only rides that use electricity that are open right now are Tea Cups, Dumbo and the Carousel.

Then the cars, Liberty Bell and Jungle Cruise which have their own power sources are running.

Some would dream for this.

It actually worked out fine for us, so it was fun. I was evac'ed from Figment last year and it took almost an hour. That is now my daughter's favorite story and I have to tell it to her all the time. Pretty sure I told her there story of being stuck of Figment 80 times on one road trip.

But at the end of the day, it's when things don't go as planned that you get your future stories.

And I got to ride TS with a FP before it got completely slammed, so it didn't even mess up my plans. I was just afraid I'd be up there for over an hour with a restless 3 yo.

This is why I never swear off ornaments.

You're 21, how many Christmas ornaments could you possibly have? I've got enough to fill up two trees with only ornaments I've gotten on travel or are otherwise meaningful to me.
