I hate posting stuff that is off topic but I have a quick question. Does any know what time Governor Northam’s press conference is?
COVID-19’s Impacts on BGW
- Thread starter WDWRLD
- Start date
Not sure if this has been talked about already but I just came across this article with a link to a survey from BGW about potential COVID precautions. Supposedly it has been sent to potential guests. The survey link is at the end of the article.
Gov. Northam's presser will be streamed live in WTKR Facebook page at 2 o'clock. Probably get some answers to the direction BGW will be going in for now.
Gathering limit does indeed move from 250 to 50, but again: it's unclear what that necessarily means in the context of a theme park.
Right. So basically, Busch has a CAPACITY limit of 1000, but there has always been a limit on "gatherings" of 250 people. Different numbers in different contexts, and it was always unclear how any reopening plan would run into that smaller number within a given space. Reducing to 50 just adds another variable to things.
Really depends on how you consider "gatherings". Is a gathering just the amount of people in the park? Or amount of people in a ride station or restaurant, or the amount of people in a shop or theater?
To take it one step further. The restrictions are specific to "Hampton Roads". That has always been a kind of ambiguous term. Williamsburg/James City County is an hour away from Norfolk/VA Beach area. So, does "Hampton Roads" even include James City County; where BGW is located.
The social gathering rule hasn't applied to places like BGW this whole process. So we're all going to have to wait until the full executive order comes out to know what can happen.
IMO, the instant BGW announces they are opening they will get Ocean Breezed. They may be allowed to open but several buildings/rides/areas will be closed.
The plan being considered—a partial reopening with a cap of 1k guests—expressly does this already. It won't be some big scandal if/when this happens.
For the record, @James has the correct answer here. We're in a holding pattern waiting for new information.
You and I know that because of this site. The average pass holder is going to be pissed when they show up to Busch Gardens Williamsburg - England/Ireland.
Sure, but that will be a failing of BGW to inform their guests of the operating status more than anything else I'd argue.
