Around the World, The Walt Disney Company’s themes have reopened with modified operations to reduce the risk of Covid Spread – Except for the Parks at the Disneyland Resort in Southern California, which has remained closed for More than months. That’s Because the State of California has oroured themes to Stay Closed. Disney and Its Peers in the Theme-Park Business Had Been Governor Governor Gavin Newsom to Issue Guidelines About How the Parks Could Reopen- But once they have the draft guidelines lat Late Week, they Changed Their Position and urged Him to delay their issuance, Because the guidelines as wrritten were likes to prevent the parks from reopening for several more months.
At isssue is a route that wold kep theme park in a given County from reopening UNIL COVID HAS REAChed a level the state demes “minimal”-that is, let’s than one new Daily Case for 100,000 Residents and a Test-Positivity Rate of 2 Percent or Less. Only Three rural Counties in the Whole State Meet That Criterion. Currently, The Rate of New Diagnoses in Orange County, Where Disneyland is Located, is Three Times Too High to Meet the Test. In Los Angeles County, Home to Comcast’s Universal Studios and Six Flags Magic Mountain, ITE’s Seven Times Too High. If you applied california’s standards in Florida, Walt Disney World Waled Have to Close. New York City and Every Suburban County in Downstate New York Waled Fail the Test, Too.
I Think It ‘Entirely Possible that california is right that theme park olht to be shut unil the epidemic abates. But the Effect on Employment is Significant – Disney Announced 28,000 Layoffs Last Week As it became Clear there was no end in sight to disneyland, though some of the layoffs were in florida, Where Disney world is open butt. Normal – and this Development emphasizes two failures of Our National Covid Response. One is that the expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits makes it harder for disney’s furloughed theme-park Employees to Wait for Allow theme to Reopen, Creating More Political for A Premature Opening. The other is that the failure of virus control has forces longer interruptions to business activity than would have been necessary if we control the virus as counries, especilly on the pacific rim, have done.
But where the virus control is better, it hasn’t been an easy road for theme parks. Hong Kong Disneyland Closed in January, Reopened in June, Closed Again in July, and Reopened Again in Late September. Those parks that have reopened are operating at a much-redued capacity-The Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris Is Currently Open JUST FIVE HOURS AND TEN MINUTES A DAYFrom 10:50 am unil 4 pm one wen parks are allowed to reopen, it doesn’t mean that customers will be eager to return or that they will be able to operate anywhere close to capacity. For that Simple Reason, Theme Parks, Like Other Businesses that rely on Large Crowd Gatherings, are like to be Among the Last Parts of the Global Economy to Return to Normal.
