Refreshments now sold in NRJ queue

[GlacierGlacier]

I can't find another thread for this, but they're now selling snacks and drinks halfway through the NRJ queue in Pandora. I'm heading onto FoP later, so I'll report with that.

Smart. Can't wait for everyone to freak out.

That's been there since at least January 21, when I was there. Thought it was odd, but then it was a loooooong line.

so does the line snake past it.. or do you have to get out of line? hard to tell from the pic

Potter did this from Day 1.

Great idea, as long as it's well implemented.

Universal has improved dramatically over the years but they still have times where they put the drink cart in a place that blocks traffic flow during Horror Nights... or maybe it's the people who try to hold their place in line while getting drinks.

I wish they would create an in/out line for these carts (with signage) that allows people to exit for the cart and merge back into the queue once they have their drinks.

It was part of the line, and given that the line barely moves, it’s conceivable you could spend a few minutes buying water or trail mix or something. That didn’t stop the people in line from trying to pass though.

Have they also installed porta-potties in the queue? 'Cause if they're selling drinks, you know what's inevitable...

Just drainage grates.

Just drainage grates.

Oh, that's just grate!

Just drainage grates.

Well, those work great in Shanghai Disney... saw a few children use them while waiting in line.

No restrooms in NRJ. FoP now has a sign declaring the lack of restrooms in the queue.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

FoP has been selling snacks in their queue for quite some time as well.

 

[EOD K9]

How about a tube with a curtain around it?

 

[Unplugged]

Reusable containers with lids would work fine. Drink what's in it, fill it back up, turn in to the official AK/Pandora Recycler Bin at the end of the line.

FoP was not selling anything in the queue either time I did standby today. Also, as a side note, posted wait time was ~140 minutes but was actually 90 minutes from entrance

Yep. It's an excellent idea.

Wow. Interesting.

 

[GlacierGlacier]

Wow. Interesting.

I had a chat with an operations manager back in November. They inflate wait times to push people to other attractions. FoP is very, very inflated - Everytime I've gone in it the wait has been only slightly over an hour, but never the 2+ hours posted on the signs.

Minus one time all but one theater shut down.
