This is beyond ridiculous, I have no clue what dewines problems is but this is just absolutely ridiculous. 

I'm to the point of using MANY words I usually don't on social media. It's beyond ridiculous, at this point it's turning to anger.

I don’t get why trampoline parks where kids are literally bouncing off the walls and jumping in foam pits can reopen while amusement parks can’t. From my view, it would be much easier to keep an amusement park sanitary than a trampoline park.

Yeah amen to that sentiment. The thing is, there is nothing I can think of that is not allowed at some point to reopen now, so the parks are going to get a lot more attention as to why they are still closed I would have to think.

Those things are gross.  I heard mcdonalds used to have ball pits with all kinds of gross stuff in it.

I'm with you there. If Universal Studios can open, I'm not sure why Kings Island can't. I know they're in two very different states but I mean, come on. There's barely going to be a summer season. I wonder what projects CF is cancelling/putting on hold because of this.

Probably why the parks made a public statement, heck at this point I'D pitch in to sue the freaking state.

And indoor family entertainment like arcade or screen 75 can but adult casinos can't? What's the difference if your limiting capacity etc? Plexiglas between machines etc. 

It's just weird, considering surrounding states parks etc.

 

 edit to add: I'm not a gambler lol I just work at one and want to go back to work LOLOL

But I thought he canceled the press conference today. I can’t find a press release from the Museum Center or Zoo.

How do i get the Governors email or Facebook IM?  I think he should know that I'm not able to ride Diamondback the biggest fastest tallest meanest coaster to ever strike Kings Island.  I love that ride.

Also, he did say that he would have an announcement on amusement parks this week, so he's now lying since he didn't address them at all

Yes, I have.  But we usually get Little Debbies.  Yu know, like those peanut butter and choclate things but they are not like Reces Cups.  They have some kind of soilid stuff in there.

I never knew I would be chatting with a guy that owns the ho ho company.  But that picture you sent looks llike an piggy bank.  I'll look around for a King Ding Dong.

By virtue of not providing a re-open date, that is the announcement.  I am sure if it were an in-person press conference he would have said that his announcement for amusement parks is they are not given the green light yet.

His next conference should be interesting...

I hope he actually addresses it. He seems to like to avoid the topic as much as possible.

But from what i saw on youtube, he said it would be good news.  so that means the parks are supposed to open but now he wont let them.  He's a big meanie.
