Well then...I guess we know nothing.

Apparently a quote from the memo:

Safety, as always, is our top priority. To further assist guests in determining whether they can or cannot ride an attraction, we are updating operational procedures and attraction signage to reinforce existing ride warnings and physical eligibility requirements at Stardust Racers and other rides. This means we are prepared to reopen Stardust Racers at Universal Epic Universe on Saturday afternoon, October 4.

“And other rides”

The weirdest part of the memo to me (that I've seen anyway). What other rides?

You would expect Velocicoaster for one due to the similar restraint system.

Here's a look at the reported memo from Karen Irwin:

If Drew says it, it must be true.
I presume the Crump case proceeds in any event.

I am sure he's scheduling a press conference as we speak.

I have saved this gif in the highly unlikely event I am ever right about something

They are just saying they won't be as lenient on who can ride if they don't meet the requirements. The other rides they are talking about includes anything with a warning sign.

Good. Moving on…

 

[Disstevefan1]

This is easy to say after the fact, I am glad to see them being stricter and it would have been MUCH better if Kevin was turned away and was alive to complain to guest services!

I once smoked a turkey for Thanksgiving. Can I ride or not? Assuming not.

No. Only brisket.
