Leaving The Park

Enhanced guest surveys will give the parks firsthand feedback which can be used to improve processes and procedures during these unprecedented times.
Location services on the mobile app will be used to manage guest flow and car park capacity.

With many theme parks around the world investing in expanding mobile apps to help with keeping guests and staff as safe as possible in regards to virtual queuing and mobile food ordering, it will be interesting to see how Walt Disney World will use technology to aid in the smooth and successful reopening of their parks, ensuring their parks are as safe and fun as possible in the light of the necessary restrictions that have had to be put in place.

There hasn't as yet been any official announcement as to when Cedar Fair will begin reopening their parks and the latest information given in their statement is:

"Cedar Fair continues its work with state and local authorities and will advise the public on definitive park opening dates as they become known."

There is no mention in this news release as to what decisions will be made regarding mask wearing and temperature testing. Due to the fact that the Cedar Fair parks spread across the US and Canada, guidelines are likely to vary across each park and will be outlined, when confirmed, in the new mobile app and official websites.
