It's not as if letting people bring in water would make the lines disappear - I'm not convinced you'd even notice a difference at all.
I completely agree; there's little they could do to decrease the size of the lines. Even if they added more water stations, that would just increase latent demand and those lines would be long, too.
I do agree with the OP, however, about the water dumping at the gate. If you have just walked 25 minutes and stood for an additional 10 at the gate, having to then immediately hit up the water station (which you absolutely need to do) is really a pain. The whole argument that they're "protecting us from ourselves" and "respecting the vendors" by preventing alcohol smuggling in the bladders is crap. I can't even count the number of times I've seen VIPer's waltz right through their entrance with coolers that aren't checked.
Only problem I have with water is that they don't have some to get into and cool off (except for the fountain). Now that they own the property, it would be really easy to make a small pond, sandy bottom, with pump and filters, maybe 3 - 4 feet deep, but someplace outside of Centeroo you could go, get wet, and cool off.......maybe a little beach there too.
Drinking water....I never had a problem finding some, although I spend on coffee/lemonade during the day, beer at night...it's only four days, I splurge to keep comfortable.
Just want a place to swim, or float, or just sink down in some cool water....only thing missing at roo.

ive never once paid for a drink at roo. regular wash/water station water in a camlepak is the way to go. maybe a bottle or two from home if the camelpak is filled with something special
lines only get "massive" at the filtered stations right after shows, but i rarely even try to get water at those, the other stations move much faster
I've never run into "massive lines" for the water refils, and had to refil many a time... Bathroom lines are 4x as long as water lines, don't see what the big deal is....
Fine, fine. Bacon and Dan'Roo are stingy about their bathroom secrets.
