Universal Orlando Resort (USO, IOA) Discussion Thread

[rubysparklesDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

You see, when you come from Abroad and you always think "This might be the first and last time I will be at this park, so better make it count." you certainly spend the extra money without blinking.

I doubt I would've been able to do everything at SFMM in a day, so I love the them. I'd spent so much on the flights, it really did seem like a drop in the ocean in comparison! And there was no way I was braving a 2 hour queue for X2 in the Cali sun. Big thumbs up to Universal for bringing it in, is it in place/being tested at USH?

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I loved Universal Express when I've used it and I am sure I will love this system too. I'll just need to remember to bring a ziplock baggy to stick it in while riding Bluto's Bilgerat Barges.

The employees look miserable and quite depressing. I thought greeters were supposed to greet.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I'm surprised that those Qbots don't get more hate here, I read other blogs and you almost fear to say that you like them. We bought them on nearly every park that has got them, mainly SF parks and we loved it. It is just so much more relaxing to sit somewhere or take a minor ride than waiting in-line. I never understood the haters. You see, when you come from Abroad and you always think "This might be the first and last time I will be at this park, so better make it count." you certainly spend the extra money without blinking.

Hell, there are still people who gripe about Disney's Fast Pass--and everybody who buys a ticket has access to that.

Qbots > Pieces of paper.

Don't they have the plastic container in the middle to prevent items from getting wet?

I'm usually a Q-bot hater

I have lost any respect for you after this statement. There is absolutely no reason to hate the Q-Bots. None. I don't even want to hear your reasoning. It would just make me respect you less.

This is awesome news! I'm really curious to see if they implement this for Halloween Horror Nights. Would make my night much easier!

[Hilltopper39Don't make me kick you in the donkey!]

I was just about to mention Horror Nights! Q-bots for Horror Nights could be a life saver, it will be interesting to see how they implement those for HHN. Thinking about HHN just reminded me that there will be no more Jaws night rides ever again , just another reason to possibly skip it completely this year in favor of Halloscreams.

Q-Bots are a wonderful, wonderful invention.

Something that I don't think has been mentioned yet is that Universal is doing something very wrong with the Qbots. For example on Hulk they would scan your qbot, then make you put it in a fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo?!!? WTF?!?! Come on Universal, the Six Flags parks don't even require this. It has a carabiner for a reason!

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

The only reason that I could see being somewhat reasonable is that they worry people will say if I can bring the qbot I should be able to bring...

Still beyond idiotic.
