No screaming on California theme park rides due to COVID-19, guidelines say
MAR 17, 2021
When Southern California’s theme parks reopen as early as April, it could be with one very significant and silent difference: no screaming on rides.
The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA), a trade group which represents theme parks statewide, is backing a plan that would tamp down on shouting on rides, such as rollercoasters, in an effort to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
California’s reopening guidelines calls for businesses to limit activities that can spread the virus, such as singing and shouting.
“Face covering usage and/or modifications to seat loading patterns will be required on amusement park rides to mitigate the effects of shouting,” “Additionally, on rides, guests generally face in one direction.”
