Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
Let’s face it: 2020 was a stressful, complicated year in the theme park industry. With record-long closures, enhanced safety protocols, face masks, and more, visiting your favorite parks looked a lot different this year.
As people across the world hope for a COVID-19 vaccine to be ready and distributed as soon as possible, what could that mean in terms of the changes we’ve seen in the theme parks so far? Will guests and employees still be required to wear masks? Will plexiglass still separate you from the row in front on your ride vehicle? Will your party still need to stand on a sticker six feet away from another party? The short answer? No one knows yet – or has announced plans for these circumstances.
Uniqlo is set to launch a new line of AIRism Face Masks. These masks will be available at all retail stores in the United States and online on Aug.24th.
Effective today, July 22, Universal Orlando has made some changes to their face mask policy for both guests and team members, including no longer allowing a few types of masks.
Last week we went to the reopening of SeaWorld Orlando after its temporary closure due to COVID-19. We were not impressed, and noticed loose rules and limited things to do. We went back this week to see if things had changed, and we can say that the original social distancing and mask plans are now being upheld.
With theme parks entering an unprecedented time as they reopen to guests, some unusual measures are needed — and thus, the world’s first protective face mask for water was created.
