I applaud Universal’s mask policy. Not only does it help guarantee guest safety, but it also protects their workers, which is vital, because without them, there is no Universal Experience. Be safe.
As a ride operator myself, I wholeheartedly back the enforcement of not allowing recording. loose articles, especially hand held and mounted recording devices become a safety issue as they can easily become airborne and pose a danger to not only the guests on board, but those around the ride as well. I’ve personally witnessed this and an airborne cell phone can cause serious injury. I assure you, we couldn’t care less if your item gets lost or damaged, our concern is the safety and well being of all our other guests.
Sucks that the careless guest caused the ride to be interrupted by some random voice during the best part of the ride. There will always be that person, best you can hope for is to not be him or her.
Rules are in place for a reason, so either follow them? Or maybe Security needs to escort you off the property (if you don’t like the Rules at Theme Parks? then please feel free to stay home).
I’m amazed at everything Cast Members have to tolerate from Park Guests, except it wasn’t so blatant back in the day (once upon a time it was only a few, who were escorted to Disneyland Jail – or Universal Studios Security HQ – and you know the rest!)
I’d like to think the tipping point was that “that family fight inside Mickey’s Toontown”, except I believe we have a Generation that gets off on misbehaving and putting it online as video footage for attention!
I was on this same ride in Orlando in August of 2016 and this very same thing happened! We think the young man did not know English well and didn’t realize she was talking about him, but yeah ruined the lift into the building and the rest of the ride for all of us. I felt they should’ve let the rest of us ride back through so we experienced what the ride intended. Funny reading your story and for word experienced the same thing!
I have a jacket with a concealed camera hidden in a button, no safety risk as it can’t get loose, so is the real issue solely the safety of loose objects flying and hitting someone (a real concern) or is it some sort of copyright type of issue? Or both?
I actually read a book recently about customers following rules. It has to do with retail but I’m sure the same goes for theme parks. (It was on Amazon- “What Customers Should Know” by Daisy Diamante.) The team members don’t enjoy enforcing the rules but they have to. If someone drops their phone while recording, that’s not Universal’s fault.
Having a Go-Pro strapped to your chest would proabbly be fine.
They actually allow you to take your stuff on that ride like bookbags and things but it has to be at your feet. You also can’t wear a hat either I think the issue is coming from that you are about to experience some G forces and people aren’t go great at holding onto things when that happens thus causing the object you are holding to become a flying projectile right into someones cranium.

Trent
I don’t applaud it, mainly because it’s shown itself to be useless time and time again, but lets try again right?
Gern Blanston
Trent,
You’re adorable when you are wrong!

Bobby Hill
Get that 5th booster shot yet?
Keith Sudziarski
Illusion of safety, masks do nothing. But I will respect to make someone feel better. Get use to it , COVID going nowhere
Trent
Correct, but it’s only an illusion of safety to the ignorant.
Gern Blanston
Great, Trent now has Keith doing it!
You’re both adorable when you are wrong!

These folks don’t care about others’ experiences, only their own. Very self serving, narcissistic behaviors.
Peter
I recorded the whole time when I was there

Congratulations!!! You are exactly the problem!! Thanks for potentially ruining everyone else’s time for no reason! What an idiot….

Is it a no filming rule ,or no loose objects like a phone ,etc. If you had a go pro on a wrist strap would that be allowed?
