Theme parks across the country are beginning to reopen, while others are still gathering data and formulating plans to keep guests safe and healthy. Based on a new survey, not all parents are ready for the park to reopen.
A new survey suggests that parents may not be interested in returning to theme parks until next summer.

The survey also raised the question of whether certain safety measures would make families more or less willing to return to the parks. About 40% of participants said limiting the number of patrons, wearing masks and committing social distance would make them more likely to return to the park. However, according to the survey, about one third of the participants said that these measures would make them even more or less likely.
