Driver8rws Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 FYI, they put the "6ft spacing tape marks" in the turnstiles about 10-12ft apart to try to stagger the people in the line right next to you. They are not leaving a lane open, but that is what we thought after seeing the video a few weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be distanced from my friends/family/gf. I will stay the distance between the other randoms. but not my party. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'm guessing the reservations are much more about people thinking they can't get in. Haven't heard of them being enforced anywhere (Six Flags, Dollywood, etc). Probably staggers the line well enough since enough people think they can't enter earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect slow and uneven food service, ride operations, etc. And that's fine. But pandemic safety enforcement should not and cannot be a stumbling block. Expand If you are so worried about it then stay home. You are not going to get 100% of the people to do things like they should. We have been experimenting on how to were a mask and not have our glasses fog up. We have yet to figure something out.

malem Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The wait times thread would be a good place to post dispatch time observations, though a post for every cycle is probably more information than we need. When the general public is loaded onto a new ride for the first time, patience is a virtue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm going. Those that can't follow instructions are the ones that should stay home. People like you that occasionally adjust their mask aren't the ones I'm concerned about. Though as a previous poster mentioned, I'd be lifting up the glasses to defog them not the mask. For your next trip though, pick up some defogging solution on Amazon. Works great! Granted, if the park is full of idiots than we'll just leave. But from the reports I'm reading that shouldn't be necessary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
