Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[JacknSally]

I’m wondering if they are concerned with the times where you pass each other. They know people are taking their masks off on other rides since everything is video monitored. How many times do you pass by another train on Peoplemover? A couple times per trip? They go pretty close to each other.

Hm. I see what you mean, and that's valid, though I think those two instances move pretty quickly, and since it's not practical to put plexiglass or anything there (I'm assuming it's not practical) then Disney's CYA policies would just apply. People should be wearing masks, in which case those two passes would be less of a concern since everyone is moving, masked, and outdoors. It would really be no different than walking past people on the ground or in queues. Plus, if the People Mover cars aren't full, you might only be passing a couple of people at a time.

Cory Meets World is streaming now from DHS on YouTube and his boarding group for RotR was just called, if anyone wants to see that attraction.

All I’m going to say is if they closed Peoplemover, they’d see a backlash that would make the Splash Mountain closure look dull. I’ve never ridden the ride and I know how much of a cult following that attraction has.

People are still livid at the one in DL closing. You remove it from WDW giving NO ONE an opportunity to ever ride it again...good luck, Disney.

I fear a lot more for remaining entertainment actors and show attractions. And see how those delayed openings or cuts could be COVID related.

I legitimately might cry because I've only ridden Primeval whirl once and I loved it. I've been so looking forward to riding it again....

You can always go down the road to FunSpot Kissimmee they have it

Lol, no! I mean, probably a rush there, too. Disney has some official People Mover merch, though. Themed tees and I think a themed baseball cap?

I know we can't discuss, but I teared up a touch when I read the news.

It was one of my favorite rides that gave me one of my favorite memories. ❤

Primeval whirl can be sold to another regional amusement park which would give them some money. That ride is portable ride that can easily be moved.

Six Flags will be all over it. Slap it with a light DC character paint job and hype it up as a huge new attraction

I really wouldn't be surprised to see an entire park closed for a while. They surely cannot afford to have that many CMs stood around running attractions that are all walk on, and empty stores.

I guess its likely to be AK if they did.

Splash, 7 Dwarfs, Big Thunder, Jungle cruise and dumbo all showing up as temporarily closed right now...is that accurate? I wonder why there seem to be so many problems. We are headed there At the end of the month and hoping for better luck with rides being open!

Any time I see that it is the outdoor rides, I would think it is bad weather. I also check the other parks for Test Track, Everest, SDD etc.

The parks have been closed for 4 months and thats all it took for people to forget Florida weather patterns and how it affects daily ride operations

If they are going after boring rides, I really hope they don’t close Living with the Land. I know people poke fun at it but it’s seriously one of my favorites in Epcot.

Living with the Land (and the balloons in the Land pavilion) are my earliest WDW memories.
