Where I work we are getting it from a local brewery.....some smells good enouth to drink.....some is horrible and you cant get the small off your hands for days. That was my complaint with UOR....the mandatory hand sanitizer at rides stunk bad....yet the stuff the sell in the gift shop has a nice lime smell.....but you have to use the squirt they give you even if the team member sees you using the stuff you bought from them. We tried, we were at Gringotts and as we got to the guy with the hand sanitizer we, right in front of him asked if we could use our own and he didnt seem to have a problem and gave us a row number. As we waited to board all the team members were looking at us and the same guy came to us and said we had to use theirs which we just held out our hand and he basically put the smallest drop ever in our hand. We rode and when we were done they had supervisors waiting for us and they completely sprayed down the whole car. We werent trying to do anything wrong just avoid the smelly hand sanitizer buy paying for some that didnt stink in their park.
Good questions still, and I think the park would do well to think about it and make sure their rules are logical for such a roll-out:
Park claims no liability for individual results as the app alone cannot make the determination of where contact was made - it could have been made pretty much anywhere even with low exposure times. (If I read the data site correctly, it'll alert if one token was linked to exposure, and it doesn't take long for tokens to be shared across devices)
If an employee is directed to get tested, park pays for it and the hourly rate for a set number of hours on a weekly basis while the employee stays home to discourage a possible spreader event on park property.
The employees would be allowed to have their own devices on-hand and not visible to guests, just like normal (I assume they can have phones in pockets as long as they're not noticable) since the app doesn't need any further interaction with the phone when activated.
The park cannot supply devices for this as it weakens the effectiveness of the program since the whole system relies upon being able to trace exposure from any and all locations an individual has visited, not just their job site.
For what its worth, this is what they use at SeaWorld Orlando and presumably BGW if you want to see the ingredients that make it up.

I actually witnessed employees placing their phones in small lockers while working rides in the past. Not sure if that was by choice or a rule. But many safety occupation do not want you to even have them on you do to the risk of distraction.
According to the covidwise app FAQ it does look for 15 minutes of exposure.

Thats why apple watches are so popular at Disney, you can still see things like texts but not be on your phone since its against the rules.
Why couldnt they....if money wasnt a issue? Why couldnt the park implement a policy that you could not have personal cellphones on you while at the park working. Each person working could be assigned a device that was unique to them and they would have it with them at all times while at the park working. This would eleminate the issue of if they were exposed at the park or not. This would give the park full access to the device as its company property.
But let's say they were exposed when picking up groceries during the week - assuming the tracing app was in use by everyone in the store (large stretch I know, but bear with me) - by not using their phone in the park and relying upon the park provided device instead, the apps won't know anything about that previous exposure. The system effectively fails for the purpose of honest contact tracing. It also would place liability squarely on the park too since there's no way to indicate alternate exposure source possibilities.
However, I stand corrected - thanks @horsesboy and @Nibbins for the details about park phone policies and better info than I understood from the length of time for tokens.
Curious if maybe an alternative solution for affected staff (assuming food service and ride ops whom stay in the same areas vs. janitorial and other roaming staffers) would have them use the app, stick their phones in the usual lockers, then have another device using the app the park installs that essentially picks up tokens and distributes across the area. For example, if the phone lockers were at the ops booth on a coaster platform, the park device would be near enough to pick up the signals from the stored phones. Then there'd be another device installed in range of it further away where guests may be more likely to congregate so that the devices are effectively feeding each other... So if a guest has a device with exposure tokens those tokens can be sent to the employee devices without being in direct proximity that'd violate safety rules.
They are supposed to put their phones in lockers when working on rides. Same with all food service employees, they should have their phones in lockers.
FWIW, I went to Cedar Point for the first time ever last week and I thought they did a really good job. Every employee had masks on appropriately and when they saw a guest who didn't they made you fix it. They really tried to enforce distancing in queue's but the only iffy part was getting off a ride.
Not to mention they fling the water from your hand everywhere which isn't particularly hygienic.
Wasn't there a Mythbusters episode where they found that the old school style blowers were heating and blowing crap in the air back onto people's hands?
Yes. The flushing toilets create aerosolized fecal matter that is then blown straight onto your freshly washed hands by the air dryer. ??

We had some Copper Fox labeled sanitizer where i work. Made right in Williamsburg. A couple of months ago we hade sanitizer labeled chesapeake bay distillery in virginia beach. They both had a stench to them if you got it close enough to your nose. probably ment to stop anyone dumb enough to try to drink it.
I have admittedly not been in every bathroom at the park since they reopened, but the only one with the air dryers was the Caribou Station bathroom—the rest have all had towels.
The one by big ben had towels, the one in caribou was air dryers only. I just always skip the dryers and just shake my hands dry there.
