As we all know, theme parts are the ‘BIGGEST’ attractions in the hospitality industry. Many times, because of theme parks, it allows close hotels, restaurants, and stores to thrive. Because of the impacts of COVID-19, theme parks around the world have temporarily closed their doors. Even Disney has had to close up shop in order to take the proper precautions that have been mandated. In fact, for the first time in history, The Walt Disney Company, has closed every single Disney theme park around the globe. Most theme parks in the United States, such as Six Flags, Busch Gardens, and SeaWorld put out statements that they would close through the end of March. As we all know that quickly had to change till the end of April. While government officials are about to start opening more businesses in order to keep the economy afloat, I do not personally see theme parks being able to open very soon, let alone May 1st.
When theme parks do finally get to see the light of day, I believe things will be very different. For example, rides will be at limited capacity, and a lot more hand sanitizer will be dispensed. But that could only be the beginning. It will be very important for our industry and the economy that we get to open up these beloved parks soon; however, we must take the proper precautions to stop the spread of this virus, that has no doubt already made history.
