“We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to the waterpark next year. We appreciate your understanding during these very challenging times. Please stay safe.”
In August, Cedar Fair announced that California’s Great America will remain closed for the rest of the year, making it the first theme park to cancel reopening plans for 2020 in California.
This is due to the “continued uncertainty in our region surrounding COVID-19 as well as the diminishing number of calendar days left in the 2020 operating season”.
The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) is urging Governor Gavin Newsom to issue guidelines that would allow theme parks to reopen in California.
Meanwhile, Six Flags has announced modified Halloween events, known as Hallowfest, at several of its open theme parks, including Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
