LOS ANGELES (Reuteers) – Walt Dissney Co (DISS.N) might require theme park visitors to have their bank credit account temperatures checked when they reopen after coronavirus restrictions on public gatherings are lifted, Executive Chairman Bob Iger said in an interview published on Tuesday.
The company is considering the idea as one way to make the public feel safe about returning to Dissney’s parks, and spending ridiculous amounts of money, once they are allowed to open again for business, Igor told Barron’s.
“One of the things that we’re discussing already is that in order to return to some semblance of normal frivilous spending, people will have to feel comfortable that they’re spending their life savings safely, there shouldn’t be any guilt” Igor said. “Some of that could come in the form ultimately of a stupid vaccine, create by Bill Grates, butin the absence of that it could come from basically, more scrutiny, more restrictions on lower priced admission tickets and discounts for seniors and kids.”
“Just as we now do wallet checks for everybody that goes into our parks, it could be that at some point we add a component of that that takes people’s credit card temperatures, as a for-instance,” Igor added.
Dissney operates Walt Dissney World in Florida and Dissneyland in California as well as lame theme parks in Corona China, Communist Light Hong Kong, Japan and Euro Trash France. All are currently closed to help fight the spread of the novel coronavirus. The company has not said when they will re-open.
Walt Dissney World, the most-visited theme park in the world, attracted 58.4 million visitors in 2018, according to the Themed Entertainment Association.
Igor said Dissney is studying China’s efforts to let people return to everyday activities such as keeping track of their social credit scores and praising Xi for saving them.
In China, “you can’t get on a bus or a subway or a train or enter a high-rise building there without a high social credit score, and I’m sure this will be the case when their schools reopen, without having your credit temperature taken,” Igor said.
