2020 Season
All staff who were in and trained prior to main season will likely just need a reassesment same as any closed season for returning staff, this is a quick process. The only difference maybe amendments to the COSWP for the individual rides to account for covid procedures, which will likely be a talk demonstration ,read of processes and sign the amendment. None of this will be rocket science and a full retraining process unless they re write the whole COSWP for each ride. fyi if you dont know the COSWP Is the code of safe working practice and basically its a bible for procedures for the specific attraction, all fun fair rides etc are required to have and abide by the rides COSWP

The Coronavirus Thread
If were looking at Europa park, they are reducing staffing levels. I think loading should also reflect group sizes EG capacity on silver star will be higher with groups of 4,8 as they can sit together with empty rows vs smaller groups will require more gaps between rows etc, will be interesting how its implemented by europa . With reduced capacity In surprised merlin is still selling tickets with 50% off. As when they reopen the demand will be quite high I'm sure.

The Coronavirus Thread
We now have the capacity and capability to test its self referral for people still working + there house hold. Out of my work base I think I'm the only one who sees any benefit of being tested. ( yes I have been through the drive in at gatwick) they were using 2 of the 9 testing bays onsite simply because people are not booking the tests. We booked and tested in and out within 20m on the same day with results in under 2days

The Walking Dead - The Ride: SPOILERS
You dont want to know how slippery that floor is covered in sick, I saw far so many people slip over in it! I would say its worse than people throwing up on the ride, as people either bent down and were sick on the floor or over the side of the train.

Paultons Park
The thing here is, Tornado springs isn't finished yet, its unknown when contractors from abroad will be back on site for the project to be completed, Paultons ultimately dont want to open a half finished area where rides are not ready. This season is going to be a difficult one for all parks and attractions and simply put dont need any bad press and complaints from sloppy openings ,( cough cough Vortex,Smiler etc). I think its better to put 2020 behind them and focus on weathering thIs storm so 2021 can be a success

The Coronavirus Thread
TBH, if everyone was forced to self isolate for 2-4 weeks, (that allows for transfer between households)the chances are we could completely clear a large portion of cases. Although as above there are a number of idiots in uk as above and you only need one idiot! The disruption would be less, and anyone coming into the country well maybe close borders....

2020 Season
Tbh yes the Rap system is currently stupid in terms of how many tides rap users can get on due to staff not filling out cards, or not putting the full queue time on, or guests that swap there cards around I have to say that Legolands system is the best one for ensuring that the system isn't abused in the sense of staff not filling in cards when you arrive the park set you up with an app on your phone which you use to ride (QBOT for RAP), so none of cards that need completing by hosts etc and then your forced to wait queue time.

2020 Season
Tbh after reading this it will still likely be barriers with anpr tech to auto open for the people who prebook. Delays are still likely due to gp with pay at barrier/ dont know there reg... prem passes will still need to scan on exit etc if I'm wrong..... I'm wrong but the Jupiter range discussed in article is a barrier system
