No Screaming On California Theme Park Rides, Guidelines Say
CBS LA ^ | March 17, 2021

Posted on 03/17/2021 9:24:20 AM PDT by george76

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.

I take particular delight in going the “wrong” way. I’m a rebel at heart.

They really need to make a rule that brain-dead people aren’t allowed out of their basements. That would eliminate 100% of the leadership in California and make life livable for normal people.

Will a fairly loud “Oh sh!t” be okay when the bottom drops out on the roller coaster ride?

Someone should make a video of people excitedly boarding a well known ride, getting secured and then seemingly shown a special message from the State of California ... which turns out to be them getting Rick Rolled.

Then splice footage of people getting off the same ride ... as if they never rode it.

One way on floors of stores.

It took me a long time to notice and remember that. Kroger has one at the very end of all aisles. Your last chance. Then it’s too late for your if you didn’t see it.

I risked being brutally beaten by the Karens who scowled at me with my illegally moving grocery cart.

Try to stop it!

You go on a ride, you hurtle through space, you scream.

What next? Jail for screamers?

Understand: their goal is to destroy all joy.

These are evil, thoroughly unhappy people and they want you the SAME EFFING WAY.

Might as well ban all amusement park rides or just ban amusement parks, period.

That is the next step.

Anything that brings joy will be banned.

Grim, gray, grindingly dull is their goal.

Elimination of all color, all joy, no pets, struggle sessions... I have seen this before. If only I could remember where....

How will they know if screaming happened?
Besides, a lot of that type screaming is involuntary.
Will there be a person paid to ride, film and tattle on other Roller Coaster customers? Not a job I would want.

Okay as long as members of The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) promise not to scream when they have sex by themselves.

Seriously. Everyone is wearing a mask. The sound of screaming is heard. Who is guilty? No one knows.

“Tyrants love their new found power and control over their slaves ( formerly known as citizens)..”

Politicians, in general, are losers who gravitated to politics because they want to control people, (that and other unappealing motivations). It just so happens that if you scare them a little bit, Americans are all in for being controlled. Heck, the American public will turn on those who don’t fall in line.
