A local task force has given their first set of recommendations as to how Florida’s theme parks, hotels and restaurants should reopen. While this is just the first set of guidelines from the task force, it could see theme parks and attractions reopen as soon as June, with workers returning sometime in May to prepare the attractions, restock, and train for all the new safety procedures.
For Theme Parks and Attractions the guidelines are fairly common-sense.

Senior members of the staff, age 65 and up, are encouraged to Stay Home during Phase 1 & 2.
Room Service To be dropped off at guest’s door only
Touchless hand sanitizer devices at every entry and exit point.
Increased cleaning achieved through sanitation companies
All Staff to wear face masks
All staff are to be given a temperature check upon arrival, if over 100.4 they will sent home
Any staff member showing any flu-like symptoms will also be sent home
Front Desks will install “sneeze guards”

Coffee Makers removed from rooms
Self-food services not offered
Pool area furniture to be spaced out for social distancing.
Frequent sanitize / cleaning of door handles, elevator buttons, railings, bell carts and door keys
Keep in mind this is just the first set of recommendations and nothing is set in stone yet, especially not an exact timeline to reopen, but it is good to see some progress and plans being made towards that endeavor.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Universal’s test of premiering the new Trolls World Tour film direct to audiences as a video-on-demand rental has paid off. According to the tweet, the Trolls sequel earned Universal more revenue in three weeks of digital release that the original Trolls movie saw in five months of theatrical release. Warner Bros seems set to follow in Universal’s footsteps by releasing their new animated Scooby Doo movie “Scoob!” on May 15th.
Meanwhile feeling threatened by the new trend, AMC Theaters has announced that they will not play any Universal films in their theater chain from now on, and went on to threaten any other studio (glare at Warner Bros.) who follows suit that they will do the same to them as well. Of course, as I’ve predicted myself, in a post COVID-19 quarantine world, I don’t see movie theaters doing too well for a while. In fact, I see people ready to upgrade their own home theater experiences to further enjoy their home viewing experience rather than return to theaters.
In fact, it is entirely possible that in the aftermath of COVID-19, we might see movie theaters begin to vanish.

- In 1996 Alton Towers opened a new themed area called Storybook Land. A huge part of this new family area would be a large animatronic bookworm, that would go on to entertain millions of guests at the park. After the area closed at the end of 2013, I managed to acquire this piece of Alton Towers history. But unfortunately the park had let the Bookworm fall into disrepair, meaning it would take a huge amount of work to restore. In this exciting series I'll be showing the long, but meaningful journey of restoring this classic piece of Alton Towers history.
In episode 1 I take a look back at the history of the Alton Towers Bookworm. Along with taking a look back at the construction of Storybook Land, I also discuss the many changes that were made to the area throughout the years. I later explain how I managed to acquire the Bookworm, and also talk about how big of a project this was going to be!
