The interesting thing will be if people come back to the theaters any time soon. In Sweden, where they didn't close the theaters, Box office cratered once the threat of the virus was known.
Exactly. I think Tenet has the potential to do ok on the novel front, but I think Mulan bombs heavily; even if it's a great film.
This leads me to speculate that WDW will be opening sooner. If they have little to no media/film profit and no park profit; they're doomed.
If they ran at 25% capacity; blocked APs, and doubled their price for the next 6 months, would they sell out? The ramifications for us normal folk would be brutal if that was successful, but I'm just curious if the hive mind there thinks that might work?
Do you guys think VB will open later than the dry uni parks?
I think it'd open with the dry parks if it's a summer opening.
I'd go to Volcano Bay tomorrow if it were 25% capacity. USF I'd skip.
I know we've all talked about the nastiness of water parks; but as it relates to COVID? It's really the safest of the parks to open in UOR's umbrella.
-All attractions are outdoor w/ sun and humidity and chlorine.
-No indoor queues and virtual queues at that.
-No indoor stores or restaurants and all QS at that.
-All touchless payments.
There are detriments too, of course, that would need to be taken into consideration. When you hit that last run on Krakatau (water coaster)? You're laughing and... wiping the water from your eyes. Then, grabbing those handles again. Bring on the next group on the moving belt? Rinse and repeat. But if they were wiping the handles during load quickly, I think it could work. That's the kind of operational changes that they are going to have to require.
