SharkTums Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yeah, this thread is getting out of hand. Once again, I don't know why MASKS are what is making the country go crazy but take the crazy elsewhere. Have your kids wear a mask and follow the rules or don't go. I have a kid. You teach your kids young that they have to follow rules even if they're uncomfortable or don't make sense to you personally. I mean, when your kid says the carseat/seatbelt is uncomfortable do you let them take it off!?! Now, how's that SFStL opening plan going!?!

teacherkim Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 As I posted in another thread I fully expect my son to report back to work very soon and that's all I'm saying. He is 17 and will obviously have to wear a mask all day while running rides. I posed it the same way.....it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, this is what your employer is requiring at the moment. If you want to work there then you follow the rules. Each family will have to decide based on their individual kids if dealing with the masks is worth a park visit or not. Doesn't do much good to argue the merits at this point.

I've bought some gaiters made from cooler fabric so hopefully those are more comfortable for wearing outside. There are also conventional masks made with the same lightweight athletic shirt materials. Those would be worth a look. Rebuilding the HVAC on Eagle, Freeze and namtaB would also help. But that is a pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Mike240, Obviously you don't have children. Thank goodness for the rest of us that you are not contributing to the gene pool. Mike A little extreme reaction, don't you think? If masks are important for people to wear (I'm not saying they are), they're important for kids to wear, too. One's age does not affect their ability to contract/carry a disease. Just because they will naturally fidget with the masks, it doesn't make them exempt from biology. Thus, if masks are necessary at Location X, but kids can't wear masks, you obviously can't/shouldn't take kids to Location X. I fail to see what about that statement garnered your reaction. Sorry if the truth hurts. That is, if you buy into the whole "masks will save us all" ideology. My secondary comment about them being the harbingers of doom was obviously sarcastic. Maybe it's a shame that your non-sarcasm-detecting genes have been passed on to future generations. Very well said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbmchl Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Each family will have to decide based on their individual kids if dealing with the masks is worth a park visit or not. Very nicely and politely said Kim. As to those who say just "don't go", well ... we already shelled out over $700 for our five passes and dining passes. They aren't giving refunds. Extending the passes a few months or discounting renewals won't likely do us anything for us. Cedar Fair is extending their season passes through 2021. Perhaps Six Flags should do the same?

teacherkim Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Just received an email regarding park opening. June 22 to members and passholders, June 26 to everyone.....all of the restrictions we have come to know and love in place. You also must pre-purchase parking on line. They are also doing a tiered system for reservations. Copied from the email: Thursday, June 11 at 9am: Diamond and Diamond Elite Members who are not on pause start making reservations Thursday, June 11 at 12pm: All Members who are not on pause may start making reservations Friday, June 12 at 9am: Season Pass Holders may start making reservations Monday, June 15 at 9am: All other ticket types can make reservations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Oh and they do not have an opening date for the water park yet. It just says opening will be announced at a later date. Of course that is usually only open through Labor Day anyway so not if it will be worth opening for a couple months or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 So the local news just did a quick announcement regarding the opening date of SFSTL and they showed video of Mako and Kumba from SWO which they lifted off of a well known vlogger. Seriously. They didn't have any file footage of our park? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 This year is trash. My shoulder is trash. Surgery in July. I'll be out for 6 months. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it out to the park once. I'm not optimistic that the experience won't be as bad as I'm expecting. I guess if there's a year to miss out this will the one for the best.

grsupercity Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I like both of those signs. I don't remember sfstl having a sign over water when I went. Is that just inside the front gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i305isdaddy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Trucks came and removed all the pieces of Catwoman that were sitting out... it's safe to say that we won't see that ride until 2021 if we even end up seeing it in SFStL at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
