Thursday - July 16th, 2020
I finally made it out to the park for the first time this season. I wasn't
avoiding GA due to Covid-19, but instead was waiting for some cooler
weather where wearing a mask in the summer heat and humidity wouldn't
ruin the trip. For me not wearing a mask or not wearing it
properly is not an option. Luckily, for the most part, other
park-goers felt the same way. There were exceptions but no more
than I have seen at other public places.
Seeing the park configured for the new regulations and procedures was
odd, but it was clear the GA invested a lot of thought and effort in how
to safely conduct business while making a visit as enjoyable for guests
as possible. The employees were role models for how guests should
interact and how to properly were a mask. Great job GA team!
Below are photos of a trip through the park today with all the new
setups and changes.

The screening process is quick and straight forward including a
temperature scan and security check. It is as simple as walking
through the two tent structures. |

A sign posted near the fountain explains that most (if not all) projects
for 2020 have been delayed including an expanded Johnny Rockets. |
