WDW Reopening Estimates

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Second spike warnings are gaining traction in Europe.

And we don’t have the hooray Henry’s that you have, demanding that things reopen now or they’ll cry.

You nailed this one

 

[marni1971]

Aswell as the news that Austria is not seeing an increase in cases after opening the majority of their stores again on April 14th.
Whichever narrative you want to tell, you'll find plenty of newsarticles confirming this.

That’s fine, and I wish them well. That’s what we all want.

Not the risk of a second spike.

The only thing that is for certain in this thread is that "you" don't know what you're talking about. You're acting like you're the authority and you're not.

Opinion board...

Take it as such. There’s also no teacher/detention...so knock off the censure.

 

[RollerCoaster]

I read up on history. And really, I'm acting like the authority here? This is a Disney forum. I didn't realize it was a mishmash of Medical and Economics and Political Science conferences.

If it were only as simple as opening a history book then people would already have the answers on how to handle the virus and be able to give better direction on when things may reopen and when it all may end.

The folks should act like responsible humans and know that every moment they break the rules is another day we all suffer.

Earlier in this thread, you made the above statement. That single sentence is all the proof anyone needs to claim that you don't know what you're talking about.

Great, I don't know what I'm talking about. Continue with your fairy tale of a June reopening and the reelection of your great leaders.

Knock...it....off...

Even if this was right...which it is not..it’s unnecessary.

Ha...…..thin skinned...…...Please make sure you are in this forum when reopening rolls around in June

June? I never stated a month. There will be theme parks open in the United States in June, but I'm not sure they'll be in Florida.

well according to their website Holiday World will open mid June.

im curious what the new models are showing for Sweden since they handled this disease differently than most?
does anyone have those numbers? do they project an upward trend or a downward trend?

 

[Bill in Atlanta]

well according to their website Holiday World will open mid June.

I was just reading about this. That's 5 weeks and change from now. The Tampa Zoo opens in 4 weeks, and the the Jacksonville Zoo opens in 4 days. I'm sure Disney top brass will be watching these closely.

 

[Peter Pan's Shadow]

Just want to say that I appreciate everyone in here, even the stupid ones. Lol. Someone tag me if we start arguing about super heroes abilities or unique names of crayons, cuz I feel those topics real hard.

 

[NoBreyner60]

Sweden currently has 23,216 cases, 2,854 deaths, 4,074 recovered. 97% are mild and 3% is severe. But it's probably good to search for the info specific to Sweden.

Holiday World is in a rural area, and not near any major cities (Indianapolis and Louisville are the closest and they are 1 hour away.) It’s also very much a day trip park with few people staying overnight, it’s got practically the best demographics of any park to reopen.

I'm not basing it on what parks are stating on their websites. My comment is based on individual states' plans for reopening businesses. Theme parks in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Georgia are likely to be open soon. Comments from Six Flags' CEO reflect that as well. Indiana seems to have lumped theme parks into stage 4 and is tentatively saying they expect to begin that stage on June 14.

Six is the only chain making waves about reopening soon, Hershunds and Cedar Fair recently extended their season passes by at least six months and haven’t made any firm plans or suggested it’s coming soon. I suspect these parks will not open until the 4th at the earliest.

 

[brianstl]

That is true. But the second spike being feared as a distant possibility would make today’s situation seem small fry.

It isn't going to be a distant possibility until their is a vaccine. A vaccine is most likely years away. So we are either going to shelter in place for years or we are going to have to admit as a society the future we are most likely facing and figure out how we go about functioning as a society in that world.

 

[brianstl]

Polio was nearly eradicated in the developed world...making it no longer a threat. Vaccine.

AIDS is less of a concern - but highly dangerous still - when they developed an effective treatment regimen.

There’s a pattern there.

No one will “accept” the possibility you could get a respiratory illness that could kill you literally within days after randomly touching a door handle....and much rapidly and in higher frequency than the false flu comparisons...until there is some sort of preventative or treatment in place.

Intelligent people take risks, but calculated ones. Dumb people...well...can’t be fixed. It is what it is.

We have never developed a safe and effective vaccine for any Coronavirus. So we are most likely talking years for a vaccine. Antibodies fade in less than 18 months from all other Coronaviruses meaning any vaccine will only be protective for a limited time if we ever develop one.

 

[HansGruber]

The park would be out of business if you waited 6 months.....that is hilarious

A media conglomerate with a near $200 BILLION market cap isn't going to let the parks go out of business.

I genuinely believe you don't understand how insane their profit margins are. They are going to be just fine.

I genuinely believe you don't understand how insane their profit margins are. They are going to be just fine.

And I'm sure many of their stockholders would be willing to be patient for a bit in order to ensure that they're just fine.
