The Happiest Place On Earth?
California Attractions and Parks Association Executive Director Erin Guerrero has stated that the theme parks are considering legal action to change the reopening guidelines—at this point, it seems anything’s possible as they’re keeping “all options open” to mitigate “unachievable” state guidelines.
The California Attractions and Parks Association issued a statement regarding the reopening guidelines yesterday, calling out Governor Newsom’s plans as a plot to “Keep Theme Parks Closed Indefinitely”.
Disneyland President Ken Potrock also spoke out, stating the guidelines will now keep the parks shuttered “for the foreseeable future, forcing thousands more people out of work… and irreparably devastating the Anaheim/Southern California community.”
The new guidelines mean Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and other large theme parks won’t be able to reopen for months — and possibly until early 2021 or next summer — when their respective counties reach the least-restrictive “minimal” risk level.
Most California counties with major theme parks fall into the second-most restrictive red/substantial tier 2 risk level — including Orange (Disneyland and Knott’s), San Diego (SeaWorld and Legoland) and Solano (Six Flags Discovery Kingdom).
Los Angeles County — home to Universal Studios Hollywood and Six Flags Magic Mountain — is in the most restrictive purple/widespread tier 1 risk level. Santa Clara County — home to California’s Great America and the smaller Gilroy Gardens and Happy Hollow parks — is in the second-least restrictive orange/moderate tier 3 risk level.
This is the beginning of large corporations FINALLY telling the government to go fuck itself.
