Wednesday, June 27, 2007  Major line cutting at Universal's
Mummy  Ever been in the single-rider line at USF's Mummy? It can
save a ton of time. But it's right next to the standby line, and
this weekend I witnessed four complete sets of youngers (all of
them 18 or older, really) jumping from the single rider line
into the standby line. In one case, they just elbowed their way
in, and in the other cases, the standby line was mostly on the
other side, since the line had split into two. This is bad for
the standby line, since these "single riders" get up to the
front of the line with no wait, and then switch into the line
that moves more slowly.  There are two fixes that need to be
done immediately: first, install netting underneath the poles of
the guiderail. All of the line jumpers I saw went UNDER the
rail. If there was netting here, like there is on the other side
of the same line to prevent people from falling into the queue
theming, that would solve the problem mostly. Second, they
should abandon the idea
