Went to Universal Orlando this weekend....

...to play Coronavirus Roullette and there wasn't much of a crowd there

Took my friend and her two grand daughters that she adopted (8 and 12 y/o). The youngest was fearless and rode everything except The Hulk because she was too short. She started off as my shadow and then going around the park or through the rides, there suddenly happened to be a small hand holding mine along with orders that I had to sit next to her on the rides The only problem I had was having to see that damn Ga Bull Dags back pack.

cute kids and well behaved. I ended up like this through most of the park when I had to walk (yeah, had to use the scooter as usual, too).

True. We all have annual passes so it's pretty much guaranteed.

The only part that got the little one down was we took the elevator to the loading station for The Hulk. She was too short by a couple of inches and her smile instantly disappeared. Get this, the attendant looked at me and said, "Since you're in child swap, you can still ride if you like."

WTF???

I asked him, "Are you serious? Did you just see this child's face when you said she was too short? Do you really think I'm going to leave a young girl here with strangers all by herself?"

She was a champ though. Looked at me in front of him and said, "We don't need his stupid ride. Let's go back to Ripe Ride Rockit."

Good deal!

When we went 2 weeks ago they asked everybody for fingerprints at the entry gate. I told them I would not be finger printed for park entry with a purchased ticket.

The lady looked at me annoyed and asked for my ID. WTF?!
Who are they planning to sell my info to? Shit has gotten ridiculous out there.
Rant off...

Fingerprint also checks against registered sex offender database, too. If you're on the list, then entry is denied.

It also makes sure you don't pass your ticket off to somebody else.

Only been there once years ago they were giving tickets away. I will be damned if I would ever go again with that shit going on. Thanks for the info.

I really don't care much about the fingerprinting. if it keeps an offender out, then I'm good with it. As for passing off my ticket, meh, not worried about it.
