Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
King Ding Dong replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
I don’t get it. The forum has topics and for the most part conversations stay on topic so if one doesn’t want to read about NASCAR or MLB or Food or Rona or anything else just don’t click on those topics. Are there people that just don’t have the ability to not read a topic they are not interested in? That seems really strange to me. I don’t really care about golf but it’s not like I want to cancel my TV service because they carry the Golf Channel. I don’t think I have ever clicked the NASCAR thread except by accident and it was really easy to bail, I mean seriously easy. -

They are not hiding that data from you BJ, they don’t really know with a high degree of confidence. Why? No robust testing and contact tracing protocols. In many cases it still takes 5-7 days or more to get test results if you can get a test. 4 and a half months into this. You have already stated your objection to robust contact tracing. So how exactly do you propose we gather high quality data to form a more coherent understanding of this virus so we can fight back? Right now we are just sending waves and waves over the trench walls into the machine gun nests and results are what one would expect. -

If this country doesn’t substantially change its policies very very soon and take this seriously the parks are going to look substantially similar next season as well. This is a slow moving ship and changes need to happen now, not 7 months from now. -
KDD who believes any discussion of any food item at a CF park is negligent and incomplete if it doesn't stipulate if it is on the meal plan or not.

^ On the Meal Plan?

It very well may but providing those numbers could hurt them as well. Past precedent and business practices indicate broadcasting current attendance hurts more than helps. When has the park ever sent out a Tweet, “Come on down, nobody is here today and everything is a station wait!” This is an unprecedented situation so nobody really knows the impact until they try it. -
Cedar Point Trip Report 07/11 - 07/12 2020
King Ding Dong replied to WoodCoasterManiac's topic in Trip Reports
Is that your expert legal opinion? Can you site precedent? It isn’t that simple. Just because a contract says something doesn’t make it so and binding. Contract law is a large part of our legal code and case law. Provisions in a contract must conform and courts can invalidate sections of contracts and routinely do. Both parties are expected to make good faith efforts to honor the terms of the contract. If one party does not or cannot all bets are off. As a practical matter even a Platinum Pass and Platinum FL+ are small potatoes in the world of litigation even though it doesn’t seem small to a individual purchasing them. CF is under a legal obligation to provide a service for payment received. It is incorrect to say they have no legal obligation to provide a “thing”. -

Cedar Point Passholder Preview July 10th
King Ding Dong replied to FOFirehawkFAN's topic in Trip Reports
Never stayed at Breakers and likely never will. Much prefer a 20 minute drive to a $100 hotel room when we stay overnight and a much larger choice of dinning options (and free breakfast). -
I have a bunch of those animal movies on my server I am behind on. 9 Lives with Walken, A Dogs Journey, etc. It is kind of like my Steam library, there are more games I haven’t played than ones I have played.

See, I was wondering if they were just deep fried jalapeños.
-
What about the Afterburner Fries? Is it just a name like Freedom Fries or are they unique in some way?
-
That looks more like a specimen collection glass. Cheers.

For the moment the order has been blocked by a judge. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/09/politics/kentucky-circuit-judge-coronavirus-orders-masks/index.html -

I beleive the order also bans screaming and chewing ice. (While wearing a mask) -
Opening Day at CP is always a disaster. It seems to take a week or two for things to start gelling there. Personally I would wait until the 18th/19th.

Not walking anything back. Boots on the ground means exactly what I said. You are right, we clearly are not going to have robust contact tracing. So unlike other 1st world countries like in Europe we will just have to live with exponential growth rates for the foreseeable future and our economy will not be able to recover for a very long time. Except in Indiana, you guys are immune to these issues, just like Texas, Florida and Arizona thought they were. “There is no functioning economy unless we control the virus” -Some dude from SC. -

What part has you so intimidated? Boots? We wear boots all the time when walking long distances, especially when unsure of the terrain. Sneakers, sandals, mules, pumps, flats makes no difference to me, the point is tracers out in the field talking to people not leaving voice mails. Badges? Well, I guess that might intimidate you. Didn’t figure you were that type though. Subpoenas? Only if you do not cooperate. I take it you are a conscientious objector? -

Yes, judges use civil fines to encourage compliance all the time, jail is not the only option. Do you hear your callous disregard for life? -

Failure to cooperate with contact tracing should result in steep civil fines. IMO. -

Also Fauci: The infectious disease expert said it was "a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death," before adding: "There's so many other things that are very dangerous and very bad about this virus. https://www.newsweek.com/fauci-warns-complacency-covid-trump-schools-1516163 Oh, and yes they want the schools open as does every single person in every state. You fail to mention they want them open safely. Which requires financial resources they do not have. So....the CDC is going to have its recommendations changed by the administration. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/trump-schools-cdc-pence/2020/07/08/8a52d400-c14b-11ea-b4f6-cb39cd8940fb_story.html -

So how has our (non)method been working out? Have any success stories to tell us that have lowered the spread?
