    Best theme park Toilets

    That's part of the authentic feeling. Do you think in fantasy towns or the middle ages the smell was just fine?

    He talked about the fog. The water usually is enabled. The fog seems to be gone for quite a while now - which is unfortunate. Looked cool. But as far as I know it was due to the fog that the restraints smelled really bad.

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Not at all. Indoors (where the data would be the most valuable) it's completely useless and outdoors phones won't get accurate GPS data while in a pocket but they sure use a lot of energy!

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Especially since there is no technology in our phones to reliably measure distance to other phones. Most of these technologies are going to use Bluetooth. But there's only one Bluetooth antenna in our phones which leads to it being highly directional and the same signal strength being either...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    And even optional gloves provide basically no additional security at all. They might even be harmful as they damage your skin and feature an awesome environment for breeding bacteria (if you're into that). Additionally nobody is trained to remove the gloves in the correct way. Gloves are just a...

    This is bs. Aren't they able to put the least bit of research into any measures they want to apply?

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    If I'm not mistaken the main cause of infection is through the air. To me it's quite easy to understand that an indoor environment features a lot less air circulation than the outdoors. I think that's already proven, as well. I don't have anything to cite at hand though.

    Well as Berlin is right next door it's absolutely fitting, isn't it?

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Zoos are a lot easier to manage than theme parks. You could just force the visitors on a route. In a theme park this is completely impossible as the guests want to visit different attractions and to reride rides. Additionally zoos and museums can be considered educational and that makes them a...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Germany has no mass gatherings until september 1, as well. Museums are more important than parks as they are educational and I doubt there'll be bigger crowds and queues as there is no tourism at the moment. I don't share your optimism. I don't see imminent park openings.

    I'm pretty sure it's topped of. The last part has no strong support backbone and there is not going to be a separate support.

    To be honest I think it's more likely that Baden-Würrtemberg will have to rethink their schedule.

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    I think most of the restrictions are on a federal level. So he'd be in charge of lifting the restrictions in Baden-Württemberg. But the federal states try to synchronize some steps. When masks masks became mandatory there were some states that put the rule in place a bit sooner but in the end...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Germany is a federal republic. Actually Guido Wolf is the Minister for Justice and for Europe in Baden-Württemberg. So he can't speak for Germany in any way but only for his federal state. Actually this would affect Europa-Park and Tripsdrill. Europa-Park claims to be closed indefinitely and...

    And as they use LSMs they definitely coast. But I agree on the feelings post. In the end that‘s what counts and we‘ll never be able to agree on a common coaster definition.

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    I think there is a lot happening in international travel. There are several countries that make you go to quarantine after you get there. If I understand everything correctly the virus travelling on packages or other things is not a real danger.

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Well... in theory you can drop the infection rate to zero and wait for all infected to either die or become healthy again. It'd say that's the way a lockdown can "cure" viruses. That's what China said they did. But are their numbers trustworthy? ?

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    Well... I think it depends... I think an amusement park which is mainly focussed on attractions is a lot easier to manage than a concert or the Oktoberfest. It should really easier to manage the crowds and guarantee some distancing. Oktoberfest is not only attractions and rides but a lot of...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    According to the Verband Deutscher Freizeitparks und Freizeitunternehmen (VDFU / Association of German Amusement Parks and Leisure Enterprises) about 40 percent of the german theme parks are in danger of bankruptcy. They add that especially parks with animals can't reduce their costs while there...
