Tell that to the Bob's. They don't care cause Disney+ is all that matters. The parks are just in the background now.

No, Safety is all that matters. Disney made us watch a 15 minute supercut of Cast Members repeating "Safe-D Beings With Me!" from Custodial to Cinderella to beat it into our heads during training. Safety has always been the Mouse's biggest concern, and the only time Cast Members are allowed to tell a guest no. They would never push their guests limits or want someone to feel unsafe in their parks. I still have friends who live in Orlando, and they all say they avoid Universal because they don't feel safe with Uni's Covid Protocols. Making their guests feel as safe as possible is much more on brand for Disney than throwing a flashy new ride around to boost ticket sales. Disney+ is just safer to produce content for right now than the parks, any business person would divert spending to a more remote experience while in person entertainment still hasn't fully bounced back yet.
Maybe it should be the other way around.
I want to visit in the fall. I don’t want Florida closed due to another cluster fash. Or has the 3rd wave news not reached over there yet?

Florida hasn't given a **** since day one, don't expect that to change for any reason.
Indeed.

We here got wind about Europe. Michigan is the newest hot spot in the States for the newest wave.
I'm hoping for the best too for the fall, with a trip planned too!

Well, you don't have to worry about Florida being closed. They wouldn't close even if they were overwhelmed with cases.
Doesn't mean you'd want to visit, though.

You're always welcome out west, Martin! According to our state's guidelines, we should be at "mostly" 100% capacity for things June 15th.

Most people will have been vaccinated by the time summer is over. In any case, the theme parks have been safe and will be even more safe as more people are vaccinated and naturally recover from the virus. If you don’t feel safe, you don’t have to go. But I will gladly wait in line for the Velocicoaster.
I didn’t say that. I currently don’t have a choice.
I simply answered another of your complaints about current policy.

Somewhat baffling to me that they didn't extend the shroud around to what's visible in the park.

You know the answer, they would have to pay for new plans. This was paid for by the SDL project and TDO only has site and construction costs

I know. You're right. It's unfortunate. Lazy.

No. This has been explained many times in this thread. Entirely new drawings still had to be done for this project. The direction was largely set but reusing the design intent from Shanghai still left a lot of architecture and engineering work to be done.

Sir you cannot dull my contempt for TDO. I get it though, different site, different regulations and regulators

Which actually makes it worse, not better. Considering they had to do additional work anyways, why not go ahead and fix the problems inherent to dropping the Shanghai design into Orlando?
The answer, of course, is that it was still much cheaper to leave things mostly as-is from Shanghai rather than designing anything new.
Not to say new designs weren’t done. It was to have a much grander entrance remember

Designed and actually implemented, I should have said.
