Yesterday saw news that Six Flags Hopes to Welcome Guests in a Few Weeks With New Reopening Plan, this may be very positive  news to some and frightening news to others as the COVID-19 continues to divide people's opinion on how theme parks should react to this pandemic when planning to reopen.

Like I said in Poll 12, with so many factors to consider when planning a possible reopening I do not envy those people who are in charge of making these difficult decisions. Six Flags Hopes to Welcome Guests in a Few Weeks With New Reopening Plan, is particularly interesting as it somewhat pins down an approach with measures which are likely being considered by Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld when planning their reopening strategy. 

The article explains that the necessary components are going to include capping attendance at 25% to begin with, limiting numbers of guests waiting in queues by painting 6ft markers on the ground to force social distancing along with the increased sanitization of rides during the day.  

In addition to the measures above, Six Flags CEO Michael Spanos has also said that he is hoping to implement temperature checks at the entrances of every single park. This isn't a definite right now but seems likely based on what has been said. Those guests whose temperature doesn't fall within a certain range will not be admitted. This is the next measure we will address in our mini series of polls.

The remaining 43% of you are very much in the whatever it takes camp, with comments from you saying just get the parks open and you will be there. It is indeed a very interesting question with a lot of very valid points of view. Still, many people are saying that parks should only open when there is a vaccine.
