Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

The EU has now apparently insisted that it “wants a summer holiday season” so as to revive the tourism sector, with various countries in the bloc starting to open their borders between one another again.
 
? summer holiday are a go then.

get some sunshine, boost that Vitamin D, maybe the EU arent as stupid as they look

Dr John Campbell now says there's compelling evidence vitamin D helps fight even, protect from covid
Ive been taking the sunshine vit for years, its the way to go
 
Duinrell and it’s waterpark Tikibad reopened today, along with its accommodation, I think this is the first European park to reopen. (I might be wrong)

I’m not sure how you’d socially distance in a waterpark but it’s positive to see parks in mainland Europe reopening.

Dr. John Campbell is a wonderful person, who should be nominated for a Nobel Prize!!

Coronavirus and Swimming: What You Need to Know

With lots of conflicting advice and misinformation floating around in cyberspace, we reached out to an expert, Roberta Lavin, a professor of medicine at the University of Tennessee’s College of Nursing, for guidance on how you can safely navigate these unchartered waters.

...Unsurprisingly

Maybe we should start injecting chlorine? ?
 
Not sure how I didn’t know this... But the UK is not part of the Schengen ?

All the countries opening up to Schengen members only are automatically excluding the UK.

No Germany trips for a while then :/

We weren’t in the Schengen area before Brexit. You always needed a passport to enter the UK except from the Republic of Ireland.

But... yes, highly unlikely that we will be given any privileges in this climate in the post-Brexit era.
 
Germany first proposed only EU countries - but then mianly the Scandinavian EU countries made it to be the Schengen area - to include Norway, Iceland, Faroer and - not mainly their intention ;) - Switzerland into the lifting from isolation while travelling.

I assume the restrictions may also be lifted for the UK if you government asks nicely ?
 
Merlin have sent out a huge consumer survey this morning. It is blatantly trying to gauge whether there will be any demand for them to open attractions, and what restrictions the public are looking for to make them feel safe.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing that they’re checking before diving in, or a bad thing that they’re clearly not sure that they should open.
 
Haven't received said survey yet, but I don't see how it's a bad thing? Plenty of parks have tried to understand public opinion with similar surveys, so they can present to higher ups/investors with details of what the public want.

This surely isn't any different?

Nah I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily... but the tone of the questions definitely indicate some level of doubt in whether they should open at all, or what the public opinion / backlash would be on them opening would be.

It is of course sensible for them to gauge that opinion before making decisions.
 
Oh my God, I hate this stupid, dumb-ass poxy virus. It's a pathetic little protein molecule encased in fat. That's it. Soap destroys it. Any old soap, doesn't even have to be high-end antibacterial stuff, just regular soap. In temperatures above 70°c, it melts! Direct sunlight frazzles it within minutes. As viruses go, it's pretty sh*t... and yet it's brought the world to its knees. I hate it. Just needs to f*** off now.

Sorry. Felt the need to vent.
As you were.
 
Definitely off topic but as I consider this pretty much the general chat thread for now.... this has made me review the Merlin annual pass offerings - they are pretty crap, aren’t they? You’d have to go to the major park A LOT to make any sort of significant saving compared to just using discounted tickets.
