The governor just moved most of the state back into the most restrictive reopening tier. SFMM isn't reopening the coasters anytime soon.

Gold Striker would be a good candidate. It has a fun layout, but jackhammered when I rode it last summer.

^ You're right... my bad.

Ride ticket purchases will also be limited to Santa Clara County residents, per state guidelines.

Santa Clara County is still in the orange tier, which means only small parks can open with a 25%/500-person capacity, so this does not include CGA.

So, word on the street is that Newsom is releasing theme park guidelines tonight, but he has been saying that for the past 3 months, so I am not holding my breath. The rumored guidelines include: - Advance ticket sales required - 25% capacity - Face coverings required - Admission limited to people living within a certain distance of the park

Yep, it's killing us to live near all these awesome parks and have none of them open.

I received a park planning survey for Holiday In The Park this morning. Aside from proposing various COVID-related safety measures (masks, social distancing, the whole nine yards....), it proposed several possible scenarios for HITP: - A walk-thru experience inside the park with lights, music, and s'mores pits, but no rides or indoor activities. Masks and social distancing would be required; - A more "normal" HITP with lights, music, rides, and s'mores pits where various COVID-related measures are implemented, like masks and socially-distanced Santa visits; - A drive-thru experience.

Nope. Every day has been a ghost town. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’ll probably just re-release the 2020 announcement video with the year adjusted. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The park is currently replacing their iconic “K” logo on Sky Cabin. The new sign is going up today. H/T @knottsnetwork and @themeparkaccess on IG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm curious to see if Magic Mountain continues 365-day operation once they re-open or if they'll go back to weekends only at the end of summer.

Yes, I plan on visiting Magic Mountain and Knott's when they re-open, since I have season passes for both. I don't plan on travelling to any distant parks in the near future, since (a) I have a baby due in a few weeks, and (b) I'd rather wait until mask/social distancing requirements are lifted. I'll also avoid particularly hot days at the parks as long as masks are required.

I never visited any Paramount parks pre-Cedar Fair, but Backlot Stunt Coaster at KI and Flight Deck at CGA were my favorite Paramount-era attractions at their respective parks.
