I don't blame the management as much as the shitty placement and logistics of the queue

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t know, but it sure seems to happen a lot

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 1d

When I walked past it last night, it looked pretty full. While I don’t know if I’d ever a full pizza, some of the slices seem pretty doable. Still expensive, but it’s like getting good at the airport… you’re paying for the convenience

That's one way to get a boner

It was, but that’s what I expected

Not only was the M&C dry, but it was also pretty bland. The fish crackers helped, but overall, a miss for me

Slice House at Citywalk does seems to sell slices out of its front window!

Got Terrifier, Poltergiest, Monstruos, and Fallout all done by 7:30 without Early Entry or Express. Could’ve also done Tram, but it was getting a bit cold 😄

6:30 GA trick for the win yet again

Honestly, even if you have early entry, get here between 6:15-6:30 for near zero lines

Fast & Furious cars on track!

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

Do we think this gives a hint to the ground cover that we’ll see under and around Fast & Furious? This is from outside the store

Great view of Monstruos before the event begins

And new Frank and Bride plushie figures!

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

Purple Swirly is the best, there is no debating here

Also, they finally retouched the backdrop!

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

Finally got to try the Mac & Cheese cone. Not super impressed. M&C is pretty dry. Bun is tasty, with a bit of butter and a nice flavor to the seasame seeds

Upcoming Universal Studios Hollywood security area. Still not quite sure how it’s going to work

Also very strange the escalator they’re building outside doesn’t reach the top two levels

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

This would just be a regular cruise. But we’ve never taken any sort of cruise at all, so it’d definitely be new to us

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 4d

Trying to decided if my husband and I want to do 2 days at Disney or a 2 day Ensenada cruise (it would be our first ever cruise, Quantum of the Seas) for our anniversary

Honestly, the cruise is cheaper

Don't we all

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 5d

How was the locker situation?

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 5d

Overall, I mostly enjoyed the event once I was inside. But is it worth all the other hassles we experienced? Let’s just say it’s doubtful we’ll be back anytime soon

Personally, I think Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain would be a better value and experience (especially this year)

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 5d

While it was very expensive, it did appear VIP lines were mostly walk on for everything all night, so that would be the way to go if you really want to make sure you saw everything comfortably
