(P294) Security Overhaul at USH

[highdefrex]

I just wish we had one AP line or a returning gues/AP line only

Same. When I was there last week, the guest in front of us entered, only for the gate employee to completely turn their back on all of us in line to just… chat about the park with the guest, telling them how to get to rides, recommending their favorite place to eat, etc. All of us in line were like, “Hello? We want to get in!”

And that’s not even the first time it’s happened—I’m okay with friendly/chatty gate employees, but especially when the lines are long, it drives me nuts when they end up actively making an already slow process even longer either by choice or by having to indulge clueless guests who decide the gate person is who to ask a million questions of. An AP-only line would be awesome for those of us who know the process and want to move on.

Meanwhile, I’ve experienced the new security setup three times already and each one has been faster than both the old security check and getting into the park proper! Definitely time for Universal to consider improving the park gate process now.

I heard a rumor that security has been asking people what they are coming into the Citywalk for and putting people with AMC tickets in a their own line to speed them up, if anyone has seen this let me know

This Reddit post suggests that they are! I didn't witness it myself, but I did see some signs set off to the side at the Jurassic Parking checkpoint that said to have movie tickets ready to show, which would fit that kind of process.

I’ll have to get a movie ticket the next time I go to the park in the afternoon then and try it out
