The new guidelines mean Disneyland in Anaheim and Universal Studios Hollywood in Universal City will have to wait. Orange County remains in the state’s red tier for reopening, the second most restrictive tier. Los Angeles remains in the most restrictive purple tier. Smaller parks have different opening guidelines.

I hate to come out and say it, but if that whole tourist trap around Disneyland takes a beating, that might be Disney's opportunity to buy up some of that property that they would just *love* to own...

There was some wine spilt on the screen of the laptop when I read the suggestion that Disneyland would be closed for good. That said, I had not given thought to what Dave mentioned, but there is merit there. Businesses with a growth mindset are constantly on the lookout to ex[and when the opportunity arises (which means at the unfortunate expense of others), and I don't think it is much of a stretch to assume that Disney is not seeing this as an opportunity to expand it's relatively land-locked position.

Coasterbuzz book of the month club. Where we never actually read books about amusement parks and roller coasters.
We could start with American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic by Andrew Cuomo
Jeff digs the leadership type reads, right?
...Or should we hold out and wait for Gary Newsoms inevitable but not ready-for-press book.

Why would anybody interested in roller coasters come to Coasterbuzz circa 2020? :)
Where else can you read quality Lord Gonchar?
I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.

the rich Newsom.
See, you might have some points with some merit, (in fact, I'd wager that many people on here agree with you about reopening Disneyland) but nobody can take you seriously, when you're throwing stuff like this out there. What does Newsom's personal wealth have to do with anything? Why even mention that?

Only Facebook, because he stopped blogging years ago.

Well indeed. The Golden Voice, I believe.

Dude, what are you talking about? The question is “Should Disneyland reopen?” Not “what dirt can I attempt to dredge up on the governor because I’m mad that his administration won’t reopen Disneyland and I take that as a personal affront?”

And when you say “my roller coasters” I’m still not sure what you mean.
Is it like when I say “my salad bars” while not implying that I own a Golden Corral?
Or is something greater than just your hobby resting on this? Because strictly as enthusiasts we have very little to nothing to say about it. If you’re a Fortune 500 there in California (or Virginia or wherever you live) you might have better results throwing your weight around and calling out the governor.
Please. Give me a reason to listen to you.
