Lookin' good!

Ok, so apparently that YouTube channel has some other interesting videos... And the description does say "Proposed display loop visible at Universal Studios promoting Amazing Picture options at the Brickworks Store. (Ride exit for Disaster)" so we could guess it could be some new tech-y display outside the store to lure more people in? :shrug:

There are already TVs up in the Disaster exit area displaying these pointing hand videos. Maybe some of the other ones are for the front of the store.

I couldn't get pictures because I was working but New York bathrooms are closed and under what I assume is renovations.

Orlando Theme Park News reported that the lighthouse is back up and running:

I reported that a month ago.

 

[Teebin]

I would hate to pay the electric bill on that lighthouse! Would that be a halogen or metal halide lamp?

 

[BJCool]

I reported that a month ago.

:bolt:

Is this at the same stand, or a cup that you carry around and use at different locations? Not too bad of a deal for an all-day kinda thing.

It's good at every Freestyle location in the park

 

[Hockeyman55]

If your a soda drinker it's really not a bad deal at all for $10.99 when compared to buying just a singe drink. Plus you get some really awesome flavors you don't normally get :smiley:

 

[Splatter]

And many people will be dividing it between a family. That is what will make it worth while. A family of soda drinkers passing that around all day.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Just another way to get guests to spend more money. Plus, it really isn't that bad of a deal. Are they similar to Meal Deal cups that you can bring back on multiple days?

 

[Octobers Fade]

Depends, my refillable cup get me a refill for under a buck.

I've gotten refilled for that price at the Freestyle machines before :shrug:

You have to buy the 10.99 cup for the freestyle machines. I tried to buy a drink at Richters and they wouldn't let me use the freestyle, I could only get the normal sodas.

 

[Splatter]

Well that's new because I definitely used a Freestyle Machine at Richters before. Where they put the dumb sticker on it.

 

[doc brown]

can you bring it back for another trip like i do the refillable cups

So as I was enjoying the ambiance of the area outside the IOA gates a few nights ago, I noticed someone doing what looked like a wifi test in the area. Set up a tripod-like device on one of the planters with two white routers/antennas, extended it up, then proceeded to wander around the area with a laptop for a while and then moved to another location.
