LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – When Southern California’s theme parks reopen as early as April, it could be with one very significant and silent difference: no screaming on rides.
The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA), a trade group which represents theme parks statewide, is backing a plan that would tamp down on shouting on rides, such as rollercoasters, in an effort to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus...
California’s reopening guidelines calls for businesses to limit activities that can spread the virus, such as singing and shouting.
That means that visitors to parks such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six Flags and Knott’s Berry Farm may be asked to keep it down on such rides.
“Face covering usage and/or modifications to seat loading patterns will be required on amusement park rides to mitigate the effects of shouting,” CAPA wrote in its responsible reopening plan. “Additionally, on rides, guests generally face in one direction.”
Both Los Angeles and Orange counties moved into the red tier of the state’s reopening blueprint this week, which allows for theme parks to reopen beginning April 1. They have been closed since March of 2020. Under the guidelines, they will be allowed to reopen at 15% capacity, but with in-state visitors only.
Visitors are limited to groups of no more than 10 and from no more than three households. No indoor dining is allowed and tickets must be purchased online in advance.
Keep the rules coming. Make them nonsensical. When the sheep follow without protest, you have them.
Granted, I don't scream even on the wildest roller coasters. But I know of people who scream at the slightest provocation....
Will they outlaw barfing as well?
No puking either......................
The idiocy is beyond comprehension.
More insanity from the Soviet Socialist Republik of California... Unreal.
IOW, gag the riders so they don’t scream or fine them $50. The whole point of roller coasters is to make you scared so you scream. Might as well ban all amusement park rides or just ban amusement parks, period.
Time to mute your Roller Coaster Tycoon video games.
Perhaps they can ban laughing, singing and S’mores around campfires too. Actually just ban campfires, as they cause global warming. Just transform the entire US into a copy of the Mongollon Rim of Arizona where there are signs every 50 feet announcing the seemingly endless list of prohibited activities
Wear a mask and don’t scream. Hahaha.
I know! How about a lock-down and we close all the amusement parks for a year?
Democrat-dominated Santa Clara County, California, used spies to infiltrate North Valley Baptist Church and fined the church $10,000 when they caught worshipers singing during indoor religious services...
Democrat leftists / BLM / Antifa have sung, chanted, shouted, and .. as they express their hatred and contempt for America.

This won’t work. How else will they generate power?
Violators may need to be publicly flogged to encourage compliance.
Ah, a free country. Wish we still had one.
Signs in parks:
No loud music. No use of marijuana or other drugs. No drinking alcohol. No grills or campfires. No motorized cycles. No fishing or eating fish from waterways.
——Have fun in your park today.
Genuine trend is to warn “young males” about risky behavior such as getting closer for a better photo shot and slipping downward.
