Unorganized, overcrowded mess
ICE! at Gaylord Rockies的点评
点评:After the Gaylord being open for a while now, we decided to finally do the holiday stuff. Now that we’ve experienced it, I’m sad to say I don’t think I ever want to do it again.
Between the unorganized system where the time slot you reserve doesn’t actually matter, the ice event itself is ridiculously crowded. Not only does the Gaylord not limit how many people can be in your party, the way the inside of the ice tent was setup made it to where you couldn’t freely roam. We kept getting stuck behind people trying to take group photos at every single spot and not having enough room to pass. There was a party that we kept getting stuck behind that had like 22 people in it, and they kept trying to stage whole family photo shoots.
We also waited in line for a solid 45+ minutes to get into the ice tent, and the tent itself takes 10 minutes (or less) to walk through. Once you get to the parka dispersal, you’re stuck in yet another line because people don’t listen and kept slowing down the line trying to get their parties situated.
Aside from the ice tent itself, there isn’t much information about the other activities. There is a “Christmas market” but there’s no indicator of where you can go, or what requires reservations.
If I could give any feedback, I’d suggest wider reservation windows because they didn’t enforce the 15min entry times which led to confusion and backups. I’d also limit how many can be in one party. I’m not kidding when I say some parties had over 20 people. 8-10 per party would have been so much easier to navigate. It’s controversial too, but I wouldn’t allow photography, or I’d have designated photo spots. People taking pictures throughout the whole thing makes it pretty impossible to navigate.
翻译:盖洛德酒店开放一段时间后,我们终于决定去体验一下节日活动。但体验过后,我很遗憾地说,我以后再也不想去了。
首先,预订的时间段根本没用,整个系统混乱不堪;其次,冰上活动本身人山人海。盖洛德酒店不仅不限制人数,冰帐篷内部的布局也让人寸步难行。我们总是被那些在每个角落都想拍集体照的人挡住去路,根本没有足够的空间通过。我们前面还有一队大概22个人,他们不停地摆拍全家福,我们根本被堵在后面。
我们排了足足45分钟的队才进冰帐篷,而帐篷本身走起来也就10分钟(甚至更短)。到了领取羽绒服的地方,你又得排另一队队,因为有些人不听劝告,不停地拖慢队伍速度,只顾着给自己的团队找位置。
除了冰帐篷本身,其他活动的信息很少。虽然有个“圣诞市集”,但没有任何指示牌告诉你哪些地方可以去,哪些需要预约。
如果可以提建议的话,我会建议延长预约时间,因为他们没有严格执行15分钟的入场时间限制,导致混乱和拥堵。我还建议限制每组人数。我可没开玩笑,有些组竟然超过20人。如果每组8-10人,秩序会好得多。还有一点可能比较有争议,但我不会允许拍照,或者至少会设置专门的拍照区域。到处都是拍照的人,让整个活动变得非常混乱。
