Universal Orlando News & Planning Thread

OK, so if DH has the app can we both be logged into the same UOR account and attempting to activate blasters at the same time??

And same question if I get the kids to put it on their phones too - can 4 people access the same account at once?
If they do that, then I have two further questions…

  1. Is this a direct link using NFC and therefore the phone doesn’t have to be connected to WiFi or using data?

  2. Is there a ledge on the platform or somewhere to put your phone once it’s connected to the blaster, or do you have time to stow the phone away in a bag? Or am I going to have to coordinate everyone with an outfit that supports pockets for every time we want to experience this attraction?? :see_no_evil::see_no_evil::rofl::rofl:

Ugh. So many questions for a hardly worthwhile attraction. :see_no_evil::see_no_evil::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

are those your photos?

Is the Hagrid sweet spot still a thing?
Around 1030/11 am??

If you were aiming for a last thing at night ride, what time would you aim to join the line?

Yes! Last week (Sunday?) posted 85 min at 11:30, actual wait 45 min.

Just as another data point, later in the day: posted 55 min, actual 45 min. Interesting that it was much more inflated mid-day.

They’re all my screen shots except the one of clearly from Derek. :grin: That picture has his name right in the middle. I consider that to be credited, if you are worried about credit.

I’m using it for educational purposes only and not commercial. If you think it should be removed let me know.:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

No later than 10 minutes before park close. I’ve gotten there with less than 5 min to go only to find all the lockers turned off for the night. (only allowing removal of items)

This is one I don’t know. I’ve never had anyone else log-in with my account at the same time. I’d “presume” that if two people could use the same account simultaneously it could work. Try practicing using the VCON app at home doing this!

I’m not a “tech guy” :man_shrugging: All I can tell ya is the phone has to touch the blaster for it to register. It’s not Bluetooth / wireless. However, you get your results on your app after the game. Some form for data has to be used. :man_shrugging:

Yes to both of these. You will be on a moving walkway / conveyor belt. The railings are stationary.

You will only have a few SECONDS to do all this & the put your phone away. Often, IME, I’m already on the moving walkway trying to get everything put away & situated as the game starts. You can not stop to do anything as you enter the final boarding area. It is a “choke point” where everyone must
keep moving

Yep! I REALLY wanted to like it. However, IMHO, it’s the worst “shooting” attraction in Orlando. Maybe any where!

I completely understand wanting to see it for yourself & you 1100% should!! However, don’t even bother with all this App stuff until you go on it once & then decide if it’s worth the time.

Go ride MIB. It’s more fun and just better in most ways!

Have you tried The Flooded Mine at Silver Dollar City?

That’s a good strategy :+1:t4:

I’ll still get the app set up and ready to go.
Need to choose our villain names. I think they’re going to have to have a string of numbers at the end. The several I’ve tried so far are not available :see_no_evil::laughing:

Thanks for all the info @darkmite2 :+1:t4::yellow_heart:

SDC used to be in my sales territory when I worked for Six Flags! However, I never had much time to play there. I keep trying to go to Branson & include it

Those are new? Do they put up temporary signs during HHN or something? I feel like I’ve always seen signs telling people when they had to be there if they wanted to get back.

Yes. There’s never been any official signage about the “last ride” posted at the attraction entrance

Even Scaffywitch? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Context: The operating hours on the website posted a while back showed USF closing at 6pm during HHN.

Update. I just checked the official app and the first HHN weekend is also saying 6pm close. (HHN officially starts at 6:30) :thinking:
