Shanghai has entered "scorching" mode. On August 1st and 2nd, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory issued a high temperature red warning signal for two consecutive days, with the highest temperature in the central city reaching 40°C.
The summer tourism peak is hit by hot weather. Shanghai Disney, as a well-known tourist attraction in Shanghai and even across the country, has caused many netizens to be concerned about the heatstroke prevention and cooling conditions of outdoor staff and Disney friends including float parades, as well as the heatstroke prevention protection for tourists.
Netizens reported that after "Pingpie" fainted, she met tourists again that day.
The Paper reporter browsed the social platform and found that some netizens said that a Shanghai Disney staff member fainted on the morning of August 2 due to the hot weather. Some netizens said that on July 30, Disney friend Ke Qian (also known as Bibing) fainted during the noon tour. Netizens suggested adjusting the summer tour time and canceling the ground tour. Earlier, some netizens claimed that Shirley Mae fainted during this year's Disney Color Celebration, and Nick also appeared to be unwell during his performance.
html At noon on August 2, a reporter from The Paper asked Shanghai Disney whether it would adjust the work arrangements of outdoor personnel. Shanghai Disney responded that based on the high temperature warning issued by the meteorological observatory and the temperature monitoring on site at Shanghai Disney Resort, operational arrangements will be made on hot days. There will be adjustments, including today (August 2) Mickey’s Fairy Tale Train will be adjusted to a hot weather version, the number of floats will be reduced to two, and all Disney friends and dancers will interact with tourists on the floats instead.Shanghai Disney further introduced that Shanghai Disney Resort currently has 6 meteorological monitoring points, and will set up temporary monitoring points as needed. Through precise calculations, a more referential "heat index" for the resort can be obtained. Based on the high temperature warning issued by the weather station and the "heat index" of the resort, the operation team will make varying degrees of adjustments to live entertainment performances such as Mickey's Fairy Tale Train. "All operational adjustments take comprehensive consideration of all factors to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for cast members while minimizing the impact of extreme weather on tourists," Shanghai Disney said.
In addition, the reporter learned from Shanghai Disney that in the summer, especially during the summer vacation, there is a strong demand for tourists to visit Shanghai Disney Resort, and the resort has taken various measures to prevent tourists from heatstroke and cool down.
For example, during the summer, in addition to the indoor areas, the resort has installed air-conditioned tent areas in the Adventure Island and Fantasy World areas to facilitate tourists to cool down. Spray fans, overhead fans and mobile fans have been installed in multiple areas of the park, including the park's main entrance, security check, attraction queues and other areas. The resort has more than 30 direct drinking water stations. Visitors can prepare water cups in advance and go to the direct drinking water stations to get water.
