I had to show my penis to a security guard at Universal Studios to get into the park.

I don't recall dealing with any security the last time I went to Universal. Granted, that was in 2013 IIRC.

Universal + Disney have new security policies after the Paris attacks.

I've been to Universal Studious many times and never had to show my penis to any of the security guards outside the park. I always thought their policy of showing your dick to Greg the bathroom attendant and then letting him slap it three times was odd, but hey, when in Rome....

I literally came FROM Disney's Animal Kingdom to Universal Studios. No issues at all at Disney. I even went to Disney the weekend after the Paris attacks; no issues. Sure, the entrance took just slightly longer, but everyone was professional and it really wasn't a big deal. When I say slightly longer, it used to take 2 minutes and it now takes 3, on a slow day.

At Universal, though, their staff literally yells at the guests, full-lung. I've actually seen someone get kicked out of the park because they forgot to remove their watch before going on The Hulk, back when it was still open. And besides, the staff rudely screams at you to remove things from your pockets, not your wrists, so can you blame the guy?

Universal treats everyone equally. They automatically assume you're a terrorist.

ouch. sounds like your universal sucks =P

You mean you *got* to show your penis to the security guard. :awe:

:thumbsup:

Oh kay?
WTF?

:thumbsup:

I honestly would have just laughed at the dude and

told him he really should at least buy me a drink first. To be quite frank, it would've left me dumbstruck, but it really wouldn't have "upset" me at all, as long as he kept his hands where I could see (and not feel) them... I'm far from being an exhibitionist in any sense of the word, but neither am I at all squeamish about body parts - mine or other people's - at least as long as they're not gangrenous, morbidly overweight, etc.


As for "lawyering up", all I'll say is "don't get your hopes up"...

Came in for dick pics, left disappointed.

I wasn't expecting pics, but I was expecting a somewhat more, er, "interesting" tale...:whiste:

 

[Humpy]

Wow!!!!

When will it be my turn.

But it's Florida.

So it should fit right in with the other crazy news stories.

indeed

 

[Darwin333]

Bleh, complete fail.

If anyone asks to see my junk I demand that they get down on their knees in front of me and unzip my pants themselves. If they aren't willing to do that then they ain't seeing my junk.

 

[Iron Woode]

if it really happened OP should file a complaint with The Consumerist.

 

[edro]

Had I not shown my dick, I would have been hungry.

:biggrin:

 

[Skeeedunt]

Make a real scene OP, we require entertainment. You can thank us when you rich.

Yea, I'm not going to waste my time or money. I'll go as far as sharing on Facebook, leaving a bad review, and emailing their stupid customer service department, which will probably just end up in the trash.

My 10 year annual pass relationship is now over. Fuck this; this was the last straw. I've had so many bad experiences within the last year, ALL related to how unbelievably rude the staff is, that I'm simply not interested in wasting any more time and money with these clowns. I will happily spend money with their competitors: the ones that aren't dicks and don't try to sneak peeks at dicks, either.

I'm an annual pass holder for literally every park in Florida. I've never had a problem anywhere, other than Universal. I won't be renewing.

Did he ask you to touch it? If so it is completely normal. My dentist asks me to do the same thing.

 

[AdamK47]

All I asked for was a full refund of my two passes, which they refused to do. So now I really need to think about how to proceed.

I did post a review on their Facebook page, though.

I seriously doubt it'd result in anything, but the most potentially effective thing would be to complain to whatever local "consumer affairs" agency has jurisdiction and/or the FL AG's office. The Facebook post will probably just get you more comments along the lines of the one in thread, and you're absolutely correct that there's virtually no chance their customer service people will even give a complaint like that a second glance, much less say anything to the security guard...

 

[SKORPI0]

The OP choose to show his wiener just to get inside. So not showing it and leaving was not a available option? D:
