Hi all!!!!

i saw this on screamscape ,


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Screamscape spy tells us that diners visiting the restaurants in Canada and the UK have been testing some kind of new wireless PDA system. Instead of being handed a pager while waiting for their table to be ready, they are given a Compaq Ipaq device to play with. In addition to some fun elements (games?) the guests can look up the whole menu in advance on the system, including the daily specials, as well as some cross promtions to recient films, shopping locations and park tips. The reviews in so far are fantastic and it’s involved a PerCap increase at the two restaurants so they are planning to roll out the system to the other Epcot restaurants. The weird thing is that this test has given them an all new idea... to hand out PDAs to guests waiting in long queues. If the rumors are true Disney is working with a major sponsor to conduct a test trial of using the PDAs in a long ride queue to entertain the guests sometime in March or April. If this works out you may see them eventually hook up similar wireless devices to the park’s FastPass network as well.

==============================================

I was wondering if anyone can confirm this, and has anyone actually had a go on one?

what are your thoughts on this?


I think its a fantastic idea! :sohappy:

I think this would be a great idea. When you are waiting to get seated, you are usually bored. This would be awesome.

I used one at UK last month, and it was lots of fun! We were able to check out the menu as we waited. I didn't notice any games, but I wasn't really looking. You have to stay within the general vicinity of the restaurant, though.

When your table is ready, it makes a sound like a loud cricket.

I used one last month while waiting at the UK. You were able to look at the menu, send an email post card, and check out descriptions of the attractions at Epcot. I think that it is a great idea, by the time I had sent out a few postcards my table was ready. It definitely helped pass the time.
