Many parks have already suggested they may not survive. Others have said next summer may be their end if things don’t return. It’d be great for a few chains to be watching and saving places. The US has less parks now than at any point in the last 120 years.
Between the virus and the changing "entertainment" landscape in the country/world, who knows what those giant corporate-owned theme parks will look like.
I’ve been to many parks this summer. All of them have been pretty much empty except for Dollywood. That’s including the ones that had essentially no Covid precautions in place. The saving grace for the larger ones is their ability to get large amounts of capital to sustain this period. The smaller ones may struggle there. Who knows what the industry will look like next summer.
It'll be interesting to see how they do this, considering it is the only Halloweeny events taking place atm
We live in the St. Louis metro. We had some really intense straight line winds. We had a strip of siding blown off the house and a patio table blown into the pool. There were several large tree limbs down in the neighborhood. Luckily we only lost power for less than a minute, but 20,000 homes are still now without power. One woman lost her life when a tree fell on her. So while what we had happen is frustrating, I feel lucky.Wow! Yesterday was a crazy weather day.
We had a tornado touchdown in Rogers Park here in Chicago last night!!! I live close to there, very scary!
I was hiding under my bed with a glass of wine and the cat during that storm and Micky was cleaning the fish-tanks!
I grew up reading these..well mostly the Fear Street Saga line but still. This would be pretty cool to see IMO. I guess I don't remember hearing about them when they were under Fox.
I listened to a Podcast very earlier in this whole thing, where the guest had written a recent book on the Spanish Flu. He talked a lot about how once it was over, there was basically no references to it. People just moved on and didn't want to think about it. While World War I was talked about frequently. IIRC, this pattern repeated with other diseases throughout history. He said that it was clear that people are much more interested in what people do to people as opposed to what nature does to people.
