” to issues coronavirus safety guidelines so amusement parks could reopen, the California Attractions and Parks Association issued a blistering statement in response to an inquiry from Deadline. CAPA represents the interests of parks big and small across the state includingare a signature industry in California,” wrote the organization’s executive director, Erin Guerrero. “Parks have spent months developing comprehensive draft guidelines with input from international health and safety experts.
Guerrero then refers to a back and forth between the state and theme parks last week about guidelines the state was considering. She says Newsom’s staff committed to work with the parks on reopening but says, given that there have been no known outbreaks at parks, Newsom’s stance is “unreasonable.” “When the Newsom Administration agreed not to finalize draft guidance that was floated last week, the governor’s staff committed to work with the theme park industry,” wrote Guerrero. “We hoped their commitment to working with us was genuine, that we’d finally work diligently and collaboratively on guidance to allow amusement parks to responsibly reopen within a reasonable timeframe.
exclusive,” she writes, “tens of thousands of amusement park workers and their families, businesses surrounding amusement parks, and desperate local governments are counting on the state to do both. Let’s get this signature California industry back to work.”
