Some outlets (including USA Today) have run stories today saying the California Attractions and Parks Association (a theme park trade group) is advising parks to tell guests not to scream on roller coasters due to COVID, but this is false. It’s a misreading of the guidelines.
The state has told *all* industries to develop reopening plans that address their ability to “limit activities that are known to cause increased spread (e.g.: singing, shouting, heavy breathing; loud environments will cause people to raise voice)”
Theme parks republished that state prompt and said “Face covering usage and/or modifications to seat loading patterns will be required on amusement park rides to mitigate the effects of shouting” — not that they’ll tell people not to scream.
Anyway here are those guidelines. reopencaamusementparks.com/rrp/
The SF Chronicle got it right, btw. sfchronicle.com/local/article/…
