How can they reconcile a half capacity park with potentially a full compliment of guests? Seems like a recipe for disaster. I can tell you that assuming my Memorial Day trip is not canceled because the park isn't reopened, if it reflects the crowd forecast TP is telling me (paid subscriber) and they don't have the capacity (attractions, dining, shopping) it's going to be a major negative for them.
Capacity can be limited.
And we've seen the disastrous results of reduced capacity with exceedingly painfully long lines in an empty park. Now do the same thing in a fully loaded park operating at half capacity.
The third party resale site prices are already falling...down 20% already and they’ll continue to head south for awhile.
If you keep many attractions, stores, restaurants, entertainment offerings, and hotels closed you can limit overhead.
They will...but that’s not a 1:1 scenario on employees. Just a rough guess is they’d need to get 2/3 back just to get the property back up...could be less...but not a fraction of the overall workforce.
I think we both know they will charge full price for tickets with deals and special offers increasing.
Pretty much will be limited.
Season pass holders, many of whom are local, while others who are used to scheduling and making last minute trips, will be rushing in to get their moneys worth, I’m guessing.
I would rather SSE only get a thorough fixing and restoration to be closer to its glory days, than have its message or look-and-feel fundamentally altered. Especially if it was given a flashy, tasteless "light show" treatment or (shudder) cartoon IP.
