FWIW, I did hear about it through Twitter, thought it might be true, and then read this...

Twitter is a continual spreader of inaccurate news. Substantially unreliable social media.

Yeah, I can double down in confirming that at the very least, the FJ claim is completely false. I've heard of definite cases, but the FJ rumor is just a straight-up lie.

Twitter is the equivalent of a conversation at a table of middle school girls

"I heard Becky was dating Justin again"

"She's such a betch"

I shouldn't have said "stop" which implies we're spreading it here.

Found a reopening video from Thursday for hurricane harbor in San Antonio from the media:

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor reopens to visitors

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor reopened on Thursday with new social distancing and health measures in place. Just like at most Six Flags theme parks, guests must make reservations before heading to the park. At Hurricane Harbor, visitors' temperatures were checked and they were asked to stay six...
foxsanantonio.com foxsanantonio.com

The food line looked awful for distancing and mask wearing (VB has marked distancing and strict enforcement of masks for food ordering).
Also- the employee helping the people off raft had mask down around neck.

Six flags had really great guidelines but the combination of unenthusiastic six flags employees and the average six flags guest is a bad combo (don’t know how to say that without sounding like a dick)

Just to reflect on some past expectations to this thread. ...Remember when Disney & Universal thought they'd be reopening in mid April.......seems like a lifetime ago....

I hate the word cavalcade. It reminds me of the 1950’s & 60’s which I for some reason detest.

So basically any live entertainment production is a goner, for now, along with a few other things they can afford to close (i.e. Launch Bay).

SIAP, but with all the reports about SWE being a bit lax on masks, a post on a certain other site made me think...could they be trying to appeal to a right wing, anti-mask crowd since they're (unfortunately) not very popular with people on the left? Sorry if politics isn't allowed, it was just a really thought-provoking question.

I haven't been since it's reopened, but I don't really think it's that deep from the footage I've seen. Really, I just don't think they have the finances (glances at Ice Breaker & Iron Gwazi's debts) to be properly staffed with enough people right now to really enforce it and even prior to COVID, SeaWorld was never really the pinnacle of customer service :lol:

Like @Tbad556 said, it’s probably just an issue with staffing-I wouldn’t think it’s any deeper than that.

Disney resort opening schedule:

July 10 – Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House, Disney's Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort
July 29 – Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
Aug. 12 – Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Aug. 24 – Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
Sept. 21 – Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Oct. 1 – Disney's BoardWalk Resort
Oct. 14 – Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

So with the Poly not opening until August, and the Flo not opening until September, I'm guessing the Resort Monorail will not open with the Magic Kingdom since Contemporary is in walking distance. I have to wonder if any monorails will be running.

They'll need one to get guests from the parking lots to the front gate won't they?

Yes, the ferry boats are open air, and they could use parking trams as well if necessary (like they used to). People packing into enclosed monorail cars seems risky.

I can't see the trams and ferries being enough for MK. Granted they will be limiting attendance, but idk if it would be enough without the monorail.

The buses to get them from the resorts the parks won't be any better than the Monorail. Then theres the whole skyliner issue. A lot of their transportation systems aren't friendly to the new reality.

Very interesting, especially concerning the Yacht Club and Grand Flo dates. Will the first round of the playoffs be done by that date? And what happens, on the extreme off-chance that an 8 seed beats a 1? Do they move hotels? That seems to defy the whole purpose of Distancing.

There's a more likely chance of this happening with the teams staying at the Grand Floridian. By my estimation, they seem to be opening about when the Conference Finals would be starting... but there's a few teams staying at the GF that could make it further in the payoffs to need to stay longer. So again, do they have the teams move to Gran Destino, or just cancel reservations? Moving hotels just seems to be completely against the purpose of this whole thing, so I have to imagine the NBA would put up the money to rent out the facility longer should the need arise.
