    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    Sorry for not including the tweet. Here's official word for Virgin: Very smart. I'd make sure everything was at least mostly normal before even considering going.

    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    When did you switch to? Don't know when things will return to normal in terms of flights, seems like Virgin might be the first one of many to put a halt on flights to Florida until next year as they'll probably keep restrictions on travel to hot spots like Florida for a while.

    Hearing on twitter that Virgin have cancelled all flights to Orlando from Glasgow until March 2021

    The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

    Not a fan of the proposals to be honest. Maybe use the virtual queue system for express but they have a massive amount of real estate to do socially distanced queues for the more popular houses and close the queues when full. Also could open up certain areas of IOA to keep the crowds dispersed...

    Theme Parks & Shopping Districts Reopening General Thread

    It makes me suuuper nervous that Disney are going all in with planning and waiting an additional month before opening whereas universal haven’t really released much about planning, are opening everything next week, aren’t using a reservation system, and haven’t said anything about capacity or...

    Theme Parks & Shopping Districts Reopening General Thread

    Hard rock doing a second temperature check at their door is a first. What happens if you pass the first but fail the second (can happen in the heat). Do you get refused or sent back to security to cool off?

    Theme Parks & Shopping Districts Reopening General Thread

    Concerns me that Disney are opening so much later than the other parks. It’ll definitely be crucial that universal limit their capacity carefully since they don’t have a reservation system.

    I supposed the Overall size of cabana bay plus the Bayliner diner makes it a good choice in this current climate. They can space rooms easily If required and the quick service dining means people can eat in their rooms if they don’t feel safe.

    Maybe a capacity thing? They’ve probably looked at their numbers who haven’t cancelled reservations and decided that’s the limit? I imagine they’ll have a capacity in mind, but won’t tell the public are they don’t want people rushing back.

    Wonder what restaurants they will open with.

    Can’t see it happening. They’d have to drop ticket prices to compensate and I don’t think they’ll be in a financial position to take the risk.

    It’ll be extremely interesting to see how the 14 day passes work with a reservation system. For the price of them, can’t see people paying it their access is restricted. It’ll also be interesting to see how the sellers of these tickets respond with refunds if the parks have limited access.

    I don’t understand how this can be the case if Citywalk is closed till 31st. Maybe some sort of retraining going on or something?

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Thanks Alicia! Yeesh, benzene is a nasty one to be getting rid of. I’d be interested to know why it’s there in the first place and what the site was actually used for.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Are you aware of what kind of contamination they dealt with? I know toxins are okay to clean up but heavy metals can be a nightmare. I don’t have a clue how to search the records, hence me asking:bonk:

    Waits and Uptime Reports - Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Still down as of 15:00. Staff said it’ll be pure luck if they can reopen today, but seems unlikely. Team are doing a great job of keeping everyone informed and taking time to answer questions:grin: Still, seems like something Hagrid should be more than qualified to deal with...:whistle:

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    Just got back from my first two week stay at CBBR. I'll keep it hopefully short, but sweet. This was a proper holiday with my whole family including my parents, sister, her partner, and my partner. So it was a, how do you say it, final "traditional family vacation" as we live so far away these...
