I like this idea. Universal's walkways are wide enough so this won't have a significant impact on crowding.
Disney used to have it. Not sure if they still do.

It was a test with an outside company. There were charging lockers in the Space Mountain gift shop too. They were removed after about 6 months or so at most.Yup, I remember using these in 2014 at Cosmic Rays during a terrible rain storm.
I don't know that I believe that. Most people can't stand to be away from their phone long enough to even get it 50% charged. The charging rod exchange program that Disney is currently using seems really good though.It was explained to me once I started working in MK that they were never brought back because guests would simply leave their phone there all day, hogging up slots for people who actually needed to charge their phone.
Whether that is true or not, i'm not sure.

I was always expecting Disney to bring them back in some form using Magic Bands as it was said to be just a test at the time, but they never did. The problem with these is that there's such a limited amount of slots and they were always full.

They only had 12 total lockers in a park that holds 40,000 on a slow day. It was never going to work efficiently is what I think what it came down to. The charging rods you speak of are much more efficient as you can buy them cheap on Amazon and then simply replace them endlessly from there on (or it's another option for a desperate tourist).I don't know that I believe that.

I like it! The Fake tunnel that's actually above ground could also serve as a berm. Theme the outside of it to a hill or rock face and put some trees and bushes on top, so you got yourself an almost completely obscured view of the castle from JP.I thought I'd tidy this idea up a wee bit. I tried to figure out a way to worm a way through the queue to the great hall but poor memory of what's what and how confusing it would actually be made me think of an alternative route. There's enough room at the side of the green house to add a tunnel or walkway themed to the interior of the castle that should easily take you round the side and into a large enough area for the Great Hall.

That candy store that used to be next to the Blues Brothers show is being refurbished. Looks like it may be a store with Circus merch.

I've actually always wondered what those have to do with the theming in the alley.That's just Universal being pretty with the walls. I don't think Universal would want to partner with a circus that is controversial by some.

Yeah, I get that. It just seems like there's a whole bunch of circus ads in particular.Ad posters in NY were common. They paste them on any surface (lamp posts, walls etc) that will hold them.
