CA Disneyland, Universal Studios – Announces Reopening Rules for Deadlines

On Monday, Governor Gavin News broke the rules for reopening theme parks, saying “we’re going to break the theme park … not just one or two brands, they’re very different parts of the theme park industry.”

Well, now we know what that means.

Smaller theme parks could resume operations in the state’s Orange Tire. Capacity will be limited to 25% or 500 visitors, whichever is less. Only outdoor attractions can reopen and only for guests residing in that county.

All theme parks, Tier 4, can resume in Yellow, which is further down the road. At the moment, the guest limit across the board is 25% and indoor dining establishments can only operate at 25% capacity.

Visitors must wear masks at all times in all parks, except when eating or drinking. For all parks, with a temperature check at the gate, a reservation will be required.

Orange County, where Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are, is currently strong in Orange Tires. Los Angeles, home to Universal Studios, is in the most restricted level, Purple.

Director of Health and Human Services of California, Dr. Mark. Mark Galli said Tuesday that the state divides the park into two groups: those with a capacity of 15,000 or fewer guests and can welcome more than 15,000 guests.

Asked about the impossibility of moving to the yellow level in large counties, Gali noted that San Francisco has recently turned yellow.

The state on Tuesday released a lengthy action manual document, emphasizing physical distance to the maximum extent possible in extensive stretches, the use of face ingots by workers – where respiratory protection is not required – and guests, frequent hand washing and regular cleaning and disinfection, training. And workers on other components of the COVID-19 prevention plan.

Body spacing recommendations include:

Especially on heavily used and / or narrow lanes, one-way foot traffic and clear directions to better control the flow of visitors to the park.

To ensure adequate physical distance between visitors, switchbatch lines for attractions and concessions. Switchback lines on line / queues. Plugglass dividers on queues.

Implement expired and / or advanced reservation ticketing systems and pre-assigned meeting or activity areas

-Distance trips or guided experiences that bring people in the house or individuals from different homes into the same tour group (Disneyland’s haunted house comes to mind here)

-Covering on attractions and rides throughout the park is mandatory.

No indoor lines are allowed for any attractions or rides.

So how was this guide developed?

A group from the state recently visited Florida parks, returning with excellent guidance on it, Gali said, “how the lines were operated.”

But, Gali said, “state observers found that the level of the mixture, even without a mask, is worrying.”

Gali promised that “regular inspections will be carried out.”

Galli noted that many other states have cases to raise again, but not in California. He said the fact is that the state has “slow and strict” guidelines for recovery.

Galli said the theme park is a “high risk setting”, while outdoor sports programs are a “low risk setting”.

Regarding the game, Galileo said, “We’re starting from commercial venues,” and spectators at the collegiate games will be allowed to walk down the street.

With major parks and news outlets moving back and forth on the guidelines for months, the governor said the state would be “slow and strict” in issuing the guidelines.

Disney chairman Bob Eger left Newsom’s economic task force over the reopening disagreement.

The California Attractions and Parks Association, which represents large and small theme parks in the state, has issued multiple statements noting that there is not a single documented case of COVID transmission in an amusement park. That is despite the reopening of parks in Florida and around the world.

With Disneyland, Universal Hollywood, Six Flags and other shutters, the company owned by Disney and Comcom MacAust is tightening their belts and cutting workers as a dive into profits.

Under the red tire: movie theaters and cultural events can open for 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less; The gym can open indoors for 10% capacity; Childcare, drive-in theaters, family recreation centers and hotels may open with a change. Conducting concert venues and live theaters and festivals is still prohibited.

Under Orange Tires: movie theaters and rest restaurants can open rentals for 50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is less; Bars, nail salons, childcare facilities, church services, day camps, doctors, family recreation centers, gym may open with modification. Conducting concert venues and live theaters and festivals is still prohibited.

New: California is launching a blueprint for a safer economy.

It’s easy.

CA county monitoring indicators include testing capacity, how much virus is being transmitted to the community, how many people are currently hospitalized for COVID-19, and the ability of hospitals to care for a sufficiently intensive number of people with COVID-19. Bed and ventilator of the care unit.
