Does anyone know if there is any Wifi Hot Spots or areas that you can pick up on an unsecured network to access the internet from inside of BGW?
WiFi Access Spots?

I don't think so. At least not any public wifi. The griffin has that webcam and I don't know if it's connected wirelessly but if it did the would be one there but it would locked. I had a great iPhone app idea for busch gardens that involved webcams on all the lines so a guest can check out how long the lines were. But the fact that they dont have wifi everywhere makes it impossible until they get some.
I've wandered all over that park with my iPod Touch to no avail!
I'm certainly hoping that now that they have a BG app they will perhaps add a hotspot or two to endorse using their app when in the park. They are certainly friendly to their online followers seeing as on Saturday (Sep 24) they were selling tickets into the park for only $13 if you said "Dead Line", a promotion only mentioned to facebook followers.

If they add wifi spots, they will advertise it. I honestly don't see it happening for awhile. If anything, they will try to work with wireless providers to increase signal in the park (personally, Verizon only has an issue in the festhause).
Also, they also posted the $13 deal on twitter.
I don't know what it is, but lately I've been able to get much better 3G reception at the park, including at the Festhaus and Abbeystone where I've never been able to get good access before. Swiftman was saying the same thing. Weird.
I went in and out of 3g during the 2012 announcement. Usually I lost signal completely. I do know that verizon was testing their 4g network that day, and they usually improve their 3g network in a 4g area.
I don't know what provider you use, but that seems to be the case for me. My girlfriend has sprint and she had a voice signal but never had 3g while inside.

I have Sprint. It worked perfectly throughout the 2012 announcement. I was posting on Twitter and FB the whole time. Never normally able to do that.
Well that's good then. She has a rather "poor quality" phone, so that could be a cause of the issue.
I still do think it would be nice to have wifi at the restaurants. But, I can see that being an issue of safety for the parks main network. My networking classes have shown me some amazing things...

Sprint is going through and upgrading their towers, and basically rebuilding thier network. Which is going on separately from their 4G upgrade.
Indeed they did David, I should have said "to all their social network followers", not just facebook.

No one, but how many people would search Google while eating breakfast/lunch/dinner? or while standing in line for a ride? or while just relaxing somewhere? Not to say it's needed by any extent, but it would be a great addition at a very minimal cost compared to other additions we have seen as of late.
I thought I spied Cisco routers planted on the shop and guest relations buildings just outside the front gate. Could this be them trying to add wifi or for their own computer systems?
