Here’s hoping that visitors to California’s theme parks are only mildly thrilled by California’s thrill rides.
The California Amusement Park Association (CAPA), an industry trade group representing Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Universal Studios Hollywood, among others, is currently advising its members’ parks to adjust the seat-loading patterns on their rides to “mitigate the effect of shouting” when the parks are allowed to reopen beginning April 1.
The recommendation is just one of many issued by CAPA in response to the California Department of Health’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy,” which was last updated March 16.
