Another thing I thnk BGW could do better is use the pre wrapped packets with the fork, knife, napkin, salt and pepper in it like most of the Florida parks are using. Not only was it cleaner it was easier. So at Trapers you get your own napkins, then you have to ask for silverware. She gaves us two forks and one knife but asks if we need two....we had two brisquite dinners. She then hands them to me, not just putting them on the tray and the way she hands then to me my hand touches her gloved hand. So then I asked if they had pepper, again, she hands it to me not just drops it on the tray. After checking out I realized why I didnt buy a beer like normal, the guy in front of me bought a bud lite, she opens it with the same gloved hand wrapped around the neck of the bottle as she has been touching the money and everything else at the register. I will say I like that they give you the dessert, its no more of people touching them. You tell them what you want and they hand iy to you.

I know all this is small nit picky stuff....but it just gripes me that they enforce certain things so strict yet some things that are obvious issues go ignored.

I ment to comment on that as that was the only place I witnessed Busch deviating from what are generally considered the food service best practices. Even in normal times wrapped utensils are encouraged but under the current environment they are just short of mandatory in the recommendation. I know Busch is posision on this has been their conservation mission conflicts with this but I think this is one case where they can justify bending that for the time being.

Also I generally worry about how much those gloves on non ffid handling people are being changed. Ideally they should be treated like bare hands and sanitizer used after each interaction.

Can confirm Nessie is currently every other row now. Glad they changed this.

Any idea if they changed it based on guest complaints or if there was some other reason or force that made them?

Am I the only germaphobe that feels it may not make a difference how many rows they're seating? Since riders who are sitting anywhere but the front row are behind other riders who are likely screaming, it seems every rider not in the front row is going to end up moving through a cloud of germs from the people in front of them. Are masks enough to mitigate this? Sticking to front row seems safest right now.

I'm curious to know how others feel about this?

Yes, front row is definitely safer in this regard, but ultimately the chances of masked transmission when factoring in wind is minuscule at best. The virus just doesn't exist at those concentration levels in outdoor spaces. It's similar to surface transfer: to actually contract the virus this way requires such an unlikely set of circumstances that it's highly improbable, but this doesn't mean that we should be washing hands and sanitizing those surfaces to be safe.

Extending the event: A way to appease members who were unable to book reservations, a sign that they were happy with guest spending on the first two nights, or a pre-planned strategy to signal success and reignite the marketing cycle? Hard to say.

So today I went to Busch gardens! Everyone was following the rules and I didn’t see anyone not doing what they are supposed to! The employees were doing a good job spacing people out on rides and telling people where to sit. On Lochness monster everything that was wrong the other day seemed to be fixed now! Overall, Busch gardens is doing a fantastic job with this event

Les Frites is literally my favorite place to eat in the whole park after Marco Polo’s, but I understand why it’s closed. I’ve never seen fewer than two people working the line and the kitchen, and they need a person at the register too. That’s three people that the park probably can’t afford to staff during this bare-bones event. Plus, the whole speciality french fry concept is somewhat niche; with Three Rivers and Brady’s, they can reach a broader audience with more basic theme park foods with a wider appeal.

Then again, maybe that’s a reason they should consider Les Frites. I passed on Brady’s and Three Rivers because I’m not interested in kettle corn and pretzels and other foods I can find at any other theme park or shopping mall. Les Frites on the other hand is so uniquely Busch Gardens that I might be willing to drop $10+ for some fries in addition to a meal over at Trapper’s.
