Does it really take the lifeguard more than a second to rip the mask off to jump in and save someone?
If we end up going, Summit Plummet is my first stop. 
Hopefully I can convince one or two of my kids to do that slide as well. I still have a general fear of heights but I can do these types of slides now.

Do you think the lifeguards won’t jump in now to save a drowning person? That’s a really bizarre comment.

They take the mask off first

Right which takes the same or less time it takes to pull your sunglasses off or a hat.
Think it would be safe to say in an emergency the mask on the lifeguard would be either left in place or ripped off rapidly.

Any rumors as to when typhoon will open? I would guess probably towards May when kids start to get out of school and the summer heat forces people to water parks?
Also, would like to see the water park AP make a return soon. $70 for a one day ticket as a local is just not happening.

Probably not in 2021 - we'll see - it depends on the demand for the water parks vs available CMs to staff them. I wouldn't expect to see both of them open at the same time.
I also don't forsee them selling APs this year. Again, with only 1 park open + limited capacity it doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure about allowing APs to ugprade to Platinum either.

I prefer Typhoon Lagoon cause of the wave pool,
Water parks will be in demand for sure cause it's the only place where masks is not really required to be worn since you're on the water most of the time. I hope they open Typhoon by summer.

I supervise a lifeguard staff for a recreation department, we also have our lifeguards wear masks when on duty. The expectation is they will rip it off (can be done in less than a second) before entering the water. In all of our trainings, we practice this with scenarios, I am sure Disney is doing the same.
