As amusement parks prepare to re-open again, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios and Disneyland may need to add new warning signs at the entrances to their roller coasters and thrill rides.
The California Attractions and Park Association is supporting a plan to help stop the spread of the coronavirus by asking guests not to scream on park rides. According to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, it calls for California businesses to limit activities like shouting and raised voices that are known to cause increased spread of COVID-19.
CAPA states that California theme parks can mitigate the effects of shouting through the use of mandatory face coverings and modified seat loading patterns on rides. The concern is that microscopic droplets of saliva released from riders mouths when they scream could fly into riders in the rear seats.
