SharkTums Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 A bunch of us visit Universal Orlando quite regularly and also have never heard or seen them using anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 (12/10/07) Universal Orlando has been sending out e-mail to select people to preview their new Universal Orlando MobileWeb service, where you can receive ride wait times, park information, and more on your cell phone. To try it out enter one of the following URLs into your cell phone’s web browser:http://secure.universalstudios.com/MobileWeb/ OR http://66.77.171.132/MobileWeb Taken from Screamscape. No idea if it is actually true. Perhaps someone local should try it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themeparkceo Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 ^ I don't think that site is actually working, cause I just tried it, it's lke10:55 at night, and the wait times say 5 or 10 or 15 min. yea...right. the parks closed at 7. i'll try it again tomorrow. it would be great if it did work!

ahecht Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I assume that they just don't update it after the parks close to reflect the closing. Disney needs to get a web site like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The wait time idea is great. At all the WDW parks, the wait time boards are only close to the front of the park so it's a pain to check them especially if you are at the other end of the park from where the boards are located.

gmoney422 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 That's great and all, but can the DS tell you funny jokes and kewl fun facts about the park like my Pal Mickey can? And with that great Mickey voice? I DON'T THINK SO! Love ya Mickey! G$ Here's me and my Pal Mickey (and my niece) entering the MK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themeparkceo Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 ^ Maybe they can implement a Mickey voice-over in the DS. Anythings' possible! (That is actually an excellent idea! Along with all the info, have fun facts about the attractions, with Mickey reading them out too you ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Best. Idea. Ever. I just spent 5 days at WDW, and I can't even begin to contemplate how useful this would have been in using my time optimally. And it could really save wear 'n tear my feet as well.

gmoney422 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 But the DS will NEVER be as cute and cuddly as my Pal Mickey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenDen Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Wow, this is an awesome idea for DW, only because DW is one monstrosity of a place. I think it would be a waste at smaller parks, ie. if you can get from one end of the part to the other by foot in less than 20 minutes. I can see it now, swarms of kids just running and screaming to a ride that says "no wait" on the network, as if Hanna Montana is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Coolest. Invention. Yet. Too bad SF doesn't have this. I was also thinking, if you could bring your own DS, instead of having to buy a cartridge at the park, why not just use DS download-play? It would be a lot easier to not have to keep track of another game pack, plus it would also allow room for improvement and updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
