This is starting to feel personal. My son's pretty upset, first entertainment now this

Not sure why that’s funny.

Cause it doesn't affect them and they don't care, i mean why else?

I think this also shows why Disney isn’t rushing to open their water parks.

Definitely. Universal went all guns blazing into reopening and now they have done back pedaling to do

With FL numbers seemingly looking better, how long before FL is no longer a “hot spot”?

Exactly. At first Disney came out looking worse off for not opening everything when that’s what UO did. But now with UO walking back a lot of their offerings, makes Disney look smarter. Just shows there’s no right way to go about the reopening. There were going to be missteps on everyone’s part, but I feel they’re all doing a very good job so far.

In order to be removed from certain state‘s (Like NY) quarantine lists, they need to get below roughly 2400 daily cases.

And then there's the mystery of Sea World park open, water park open, discovery cove open. fireworks and festivals during the weekends, staying open until 9pm

Whenever cases surge elsewhere and the media jumps all over the reporting. Most people don’t follow the daily numbers. Just scan the headlines. (I’m guilty of that myself.)

Not sure why that’s funny.

I interpreted it as exasperated laughing. Like OF COURSE this attraction is continuing its streak of terrible luck. Maybe they were being malicious but I didn’t think so.

Depends on the definition of hotspot which is different to everyone... for example Tri-State quarantine aims for 10/100k over 7 day period so in that case I wouldn’t hold my breath.

It is funny that it keeps failing. They spent big bucks for a "world class" attraction that they still can't get running properly.

There does seem to be certain posters that seem to take joy in people losing their jobs and others having their trip plans impacted just because they don’t feel comfortable visiting themselves. It is pretty clear statement on the kind of people they actually are. They are actually rooting for the economic destruction of families.

Not much different than Hagrids...

Correct.

And neither case, for me, is a laughable matter.
CM and TM are getting yelled at on a daily basis, guest are disappointed on a daily basis, both land are suffering because of it on a daily basis, nothing funny about it

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Honestly I think it’s not cool to continually make comments about the same two posters and imply or flat out say they WANT people to die, numbers to rise, jobs to be lost, find joy in the negative, whatever. I don’t believe this to be true about any one of us in here no matter where we fall on the return to normal - hide in a bunker spectrum.

And yes I have read near every post in this thread since this mess began. No I still don’t agree that how this has ended up makes any one of us happy, or that good news makes people upset or annoyed.

Less embarrassing than when a local park’s rollercoaster is down. Those are mindless attractions that people can build in their backyards and yet Six Flags and Cedar Fair have problems keeping those running.

I'm surprised because I thought I read it was doing so well.

I've caught up on my youtubers I follow.
One I like when in the mood for no talking, just the sounds of park - 4K WDW.
Anyway, the parks don't seem sooooo empty lately as they did. Not packed, but a pleasant amount of people so its disheartening to read about all of this.

I think universal is scaling back now in anticipation of the drop in numbers come September.

Some see it as backtracking, personally I see it as making the most of the guests when they're coming and then responding appropriately when numbers drop.
