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.

‘Will there be a person paid to ride, film and tattle on other Roller Coaster customers? Not a job I would want.’

there is in fact a poster on this very website who would love that job...

Why would you ride them then? I am never scared but screaming is part of the experience. It also draws people to the ride.

I am usually hoarse by the end of the day.

‘Especially the white suburban ones.’

that particular cohort is the most powerful in the country; black females are more favored, but lack numbers to exert the most influence...that cohort is also never going to vote for anything other than progressivism...

This is what you get with a bureaucracy without any oversight. Our legislature (national and state) have more or less turned over much of their job to bureaucrats that make up the rules and regulations we all must live by. Our elected officials say it is not their problem, but it is.

In a Republic only the people’s representatives should be allowed to make up the rules and regulations so that the people have a voice (by kicking them out of office if they go insane). But how do you recall a bureaucrat? All the power and no responsibility.

We have lost control of our government

We didn't need to send another rover to Mars to observe outer space and other planet behavior and characteristics.

We could have have just gone to Kalifornia and found out how bizarre the democRATS think about normal life here on earth.

What a bunch of fools and nincompoops.

And Newsom thinks the Republicans are behind his recall. Let me give you a clue Gavin. It's your lack of leadership.

Churches could self identify as a strip club to get around Newsome’s orders.

Funny.

For a long time former radio host Michael Savage said due to fear of diminishing their money flowing in from the audience, Reform Jewish temples, Catholic churches and many Protestant and nondenominational Christian churches accept the current popular political trends and stay silent.

Restrictions on abortion? Controversial and confining to freewheeling people. Couples living together? Homosexual "marriages"? Socialist policies restricting religious expression and forcing people to pay taxes to fund abortions? All kept quiet.

I also take perverse pleasure in walking right through picket lines of striking workers

Meme “Well, there it is the stupidest thing I’ll read today.”

But quickly followed by the guy with the 1950s Brylcreme hair and his hand up to his face complaining “Aw, Geez, Not This -—— Again.”

The idiocy is getting worse. Screaming on rides is usually not a choice. Who pays these morons to sit around and think of this garbage?? I’m surprised no one has posted a pic of Slim Pickens whooping it up at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

White women effectively rule this country and “drive the conversation.” Too many of this cohort are risk averse and have bought into wokism as well.

Better yet, don’t spend money there. Let them go bankrupt.

I’d scream on the “small world” ride at disneyland. But that would only be because I was going insane.
