No shouting on California’s roller coasters, state guidelines say

Theme parks in California are planning to reopen next month, but thrill seekers may be forced to control their excitement while riding the roller coasters.

According to the association’s “responsible reopening plan”, launched in September, park employees can do this by requiring face masks and modifying seats at attractions.

The reopening guidelines require companies to limit activities such as singing and shouting, which increase the risk of the virus spreading.
