Theme parks in California will limit patrons’ screaming or shouting on rides to curb the spread of COVID-19. A union of amusement parks in the state proposed the measure in a list of actions they would take to safely reopen these leisure facilities in line with a state blueprint.
The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) shared a list of steps its member amusement parks would be taking to safely reopen their properties to the public. It drafted the list with the hope of better following the state’s blueprint for determining COVID-19 risk. According to CAPA, member parks “have been busy planning and preparing to implement their own site-specific plans for reopening.”
Theme parks to limit activities known to cause the spread of COVID-19
CAPA’s plan detailed how amusement parks and attractions can reopen “in limited capacity with the proper modifications.” Limiting activities and environments that are known to cause increased COVID-19 transmission and require people to raise their voices was among the points indicated in the plan.
To address concerns about the virus’ spread, amusement park operators will require the use of face masks or face coverings for park ride passengers. Seat loading patterns on rides will also be modified “to mitigate the effects of shouting.” CAPA also remarked that guests ought to “generally face in one direction” on rides to minimize excess noise. The association also added it will only sit people from the same party for various rides and attractions to prevent mixing and mingling of amusement park visitors. CAPA explained that amusement parks “do not encourage congregations” as families stay within their own household group when visiting.
Furthermore, the CAPA list also says that amusement parks will provide designated eating and drinking areas where people can remove their masks. Eating on the go will no longer be allowed as guests will be required to wear face coverings while walking around.
