Welcome! We’re planning some changes in the park this year…
We’re making some adjustments to keep our guests and staff safe.
Here are some of the changes you’ll see when we open:
Reduced Capacity
We are limiting the number of guests in the park to allow for physical distancing, and requiring guests to book their passes for the day or evening in advance so we can manage this capacity.
New Ticketing Procedure
For entry, all guests must pre-purchase passes online for a certain day or evening to enter the park. Once inside, guests are encouraged to use touch free payment options. Credit or debit is our preferred method of payment, but cash can be used in exceptional circumstances. Read more on our new ticketing procedure here.
Increased Cleaning Procedures
We have increased cleaning procedures, such as disinfecting ride handles throughout the day
Mask Policy
As our safety checks and the nature of our rides may not allow for guests and staff to self distance, guests and staff will be required to wear a mask while loading, riding, and unloading all of the rides, for the entire duration of the ride. While areas within the park allow for physical distancing, it is recommended that guests wear masks throughout their stay. Hand sanitizer is available in multiple locations to assist with proper donning and doffing of masks. Children who are too young to wear a mask, ie children under 36″, or who are unable to remove the mask without assistance, and those with medical reasons, will not be required to wear a mask. Staff will be trained in the proper procedures for donning and doffing non-medical masks.
Healthy People Only
No guest, employee or contractor shall enter the property if they are exhibiting the following symptoms: cough (new or exacerbated chronic), fever/chills, sore throat, marked fatigue, sneezing, congestion, body aches, runny nose.
Temperature Screening
We have installed temperature checks for everyone entering the property, including guests, employees, vendors and contractors. Temperatures should be below 100.4 to enter the park.
Extra Sanitizer Stations
We are adding additional hand sanitizer stations throughout the facility, on entry, key walkways, in food service areas. All those entering the park must exhibit good hand hygiene.
Installed Barriers
Installed barriers between guest and staff in frequent, close interaction areas to reduce contamination. These barriers will be cleaned frequently.
Reduced Capacity on Rides
To facilitate adherence to physical distancing guidelines, we will be reducing capacity on some rides and closing other attractions and food service outlets.
Follow the stickers
We’ve have marked physical distancing guidelines in appropriate areas. Where unmarked, guests should continue to maintain 6 feet of separation between groups.

In order to manage the number of guests in the park at a time, we are requiring our guests to purchase their passes in advance for the day or evening they wish to visit. This will also allow us to have a record of the contact information for all the purchasers in the event that contract tracing is required.
When purchasing your passes, you’ll be directed to pick a day and time your passes will be valid for. Due to the capacity restraints and changes in operational days we are not able to offer weekly or season passes this year.
