California amusement park guidelines are out. The document is easier to read and more detailed than my summary: https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-amusement-theme-parks--en.pdf Widespread (purple): Closed Substantial (red): Closed Moderate (orange): Smaller parks can open with modifications Capacity must be limited to 25% or 500 people, whichever is less Outdoor attractions only can open Reservations required Local attendees only (from the same county as the park’s location) Minimal (yellow): Larger

It doesn't state they are closed for good, but it sort of looks that way. Pharaoh's Lost Kingdom / Splash Kingdom in Redlands, California has had a sad 20-year decline with two new fires this year. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/2nd-fire-to-erupt-at-vacant-splash-kingdom-water-park-in-redlands-this-year-investigated-as-suspicious/

The water park slides expansion and new ride were probably planned and purchased back when Phil Ruffin purchased Circus Circus before COVID struck, so they likely couldn't back out. Phil is Trump's good friend anyway, so he can't let a fake virus keep him from his improvement plans The place kind of needed something new, and they could always use the new additions to steal market share so it is not a complete loss in a bad year. -
I am showing the theme parks are closed even in counties in the "Minimal" lowest group. It looks like amusement parks are still a separate discussion. https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/ https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/orange-county/business/2020/08/28/governor-s-new-reopening-plan-does-not-include-disneyland--knott-s-or-other-theme-parks CA’s New Reopening Plan Does Not Include Disneyland, Knott’s, or Other Theme Parks By Joseph Pimentel Orange County PUBLISHED 7:14 PM ET Aug. 28, 2020 ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. — Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood, and o

It sounds like a carnival ride or whatever will fit in this spot. -

Indiana Beach (IB) Discussion Thread

Just wondering. We agree that the virus started in China and a mask may slow it down. How did South Korea, Japan, and the other Asian countries avoid getting their countries infected resulting in a bunch of deaths? They didn't shut more stuff down, they just wore masks and didn't complain about it. Brazil, India, Russia, and good chunks of the USA said screw masks and the virus is going everywhere. Japan and South Korea are closer to China and are doing a lot better than Arizona or Florida right now. -
Correct, the aforementioned lawsuit is one of the situations which led to today's version of the Disability Access Service Card. The new policies were put in place specifically to curb abuse. I agree with the child swap and current disability access card, but the last time the Disney parks allowed disabled people immediate skip the line privileges at either coast, the policy was horribly abused by non-disabled people. Either the rich or the dishonest people lied for cards or paid others for their access. I was glad we were not repeating past mistakes. It was well known from online posts

A smart judge in Florida ruled with Disneyworld that being autistic doesn't entitle someone to an unlimited front of the line pass under the ADA. He correctly ruled that it would cause other guests unreasonable delays. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/judge-sides-disney-case-autistic-221058000.html Part of the text ... "Lorman, president of the Autism Society of Greater Orlando, said the extra waiting was hard for her son who didn’t understand the concept of time. At Disney, he needed to visit the rides in a particular order or he would have a meltdown, she said. She had a
