I’m hoping that capped attendance in the park will help offset that. Expand That's what I'm hoping for too. We don't know how often they plan coaster wipe downs which could consume alot of time, but it'll all work out and have it's own rhythm after a bit.

All depends on the procedures they adopt. Less/no ride op contact? Could go both ways. If there is no stapling some guests will struggle to get the restraints to clear.

Yeah, there may be a few people within six feet of you, but it's a lot better than a normal day in which the lines are packed and there may be up to 20 or even more people within six feet of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 ^hmmm that looks just like Mystic Timbers queue I would hope in the segments where they can have a whole queue lane open in between for the left and right separation that they will do that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'm assuming they will, for the most part, have all turnstiles open so that the line doesn't have to spill out beyond the ride queue, with people staying six feet apart. Honestly, I'm less concerned that sometimes people will be within six feet of someone else to the left or right. What I'm more concerned about is that a bunch of people will just say, screw this, I don't need to stay six feet back, and they just jam together like normal. Maybe I'm wrong though, it seems like in some stores and restaurants people are adhering to the rules, and in other places they aren't.

spooky21 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I see right now there being problems with the masks and queue lines. No one is gonna keep that mask on all day no one. The queues still have people close together. Not to mention I see a lot of the entitled enthusiast trying to reserve for everyday, which is ridiculous. I see that being a bigger issue than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand With all the extra employees they seem to be planning on posting around, they could easily set up essentially a mask observer. Mask off for a long time, do one of those "stop sitting on the fence" things. Do it again, tell them they'll be removed. 3rd time, security can be waiting at the ride. Once people see they're serious, then others will listen. I am curious if they'll track how much someone reserves a spot and possibly give them a lower priority. I can also see them unfortunately doing a hard count on pass members a day. Extending the passes to next year is great, but they'll need money for all the extra effort and they'll only get that mostly from tickets and day visits, not repetitive member visits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatchesC Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Interesting reading on the World's of Fun FAQs if anyone plans to head that way Includes 1 reservation day at a time for passholders. Will need to enter Season Pass number when reserving a day, reentry will be allowed but have to go through temp and bag check again. Resort guests will be given an entry instructions and time at check-in.

bjcolglazier Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 If anyone has articles that proves the virus being readily spread outside I would like to see it. Evidence of this kind would certainly impact theme parks. Most everything I see is fear-based rather than fact-based, and suggest spread outdoors is rare. I understand in life anything CAN happen. I just haven't seen anything indicating a big outbreak from outdoor transmission. If you know otherwise, educate me. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
