The first Six Flags in the nation to reopen after months will be the one in Oklahoma City, a company official announced Tuesday.
“It’s pretty exciting,” Trevor Leonard, general manager of Frontier City Six Flags, said during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show. “Things are going to look a little different in the park when you get here.”
Every person who wants to enter the park will have to make a reservation. Customers will be screened en masse by a new system after presenting themselves at the front gate. And marks in lines for rides will force family units to remain 6 feet from each other.
Roller coasters and other rides will only seat every other row.
Everyone will have to wear a mask, whether a customer or an employee.
A new team established just for cleaning will be “continuously” sanitizing areas around the park, including bathrooms, tables, and rides.
“Every time a guest leaves a table on a food service patio, one of our team members will be cleaning and disinfecting those tables,” Leonard said.
In addition, Six Flags added numerous handwashing stations around the park.
The plan for further reopenings hasn’t been publicly announced. Leonard credited the relaxations from Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt and cooperation from local officials in planning the first reopening in the nation.
“We’re fortunate to be the first park that will be up in operation next Friday,” he said.
Six Flags didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Thats a show stopper for me.
Forget it. All those draconian stupid steps would keep me from going.
The more this happens the better and the closer we get to normalcy. The restrictions will be inconvenient at first but even those will relax with time.
By August, all will be back to normal
YES I think we will be taking incremental steps towards relaxing these stiff standards.
Just today, I was grocery shopping, and I saw TWO people go the “wrong” way down a one way aisle. As time goes on, if critical masses of people ignore these precautionary regulations, they will simply fade away.
Question for theme parks, restaurants, any venue open to the public, can the businesses involved still be profitable, if they are artificially limiting the number of people allowed inside?
How many will voluntarily decide not to go to some places, based on restrictions?
I would not want to go to a theme park and wear a mask all day. Just my opinion, but others with the same opinion will decide not to go at all. Businesses will have to take such opinions of their customers into account, as they decide how to proceed.
Two weeks ago, went into a Walmart and nobody obeyed the arrows. I'm glad that people in Cali are ignoring the "rules". There may be some hope yet.
A year ago, who could have predicted such a sentence?! 😄
wearing a mask in the hot sun of an amusement park all day, is not my idea of fun, or safe. Expect a lot of heat syncopes. Then again, I am not their target audience
I'm surprised Karen didn't clothesline them.
Went quite a few times in the 70s
Kids loved the wooden roller coaster and the train
The saloon was pretty good

Sounds like the way things ought to be — the first world as the first world, not the third. A curse turned into a blessing. Hey China, if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn’t have done that.
Evil doesn’t think things through. Poor insight, probably from the lack of dream sleep. Then there are other types of people who desire to solve problems, and spend their time thinking of ways to clean stuff.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness..
“Elaborate washing rituals were prescribed to render an unclean person clean again so that he could re-enter the community and the sanctuary of the Lord (Numbers 19). For the Jew, keeping the ceremonial laws and regulations was considered the way to approach God. Therefore, it is no wonder that the expression has its roots in Hebrew literature.”

Numbers 19... works with the pre-COVID tagline because goy = “joy” (gimel vav yud) = 19. Heh, this stuff always ends up making obvious sense in its time.
S is for sanitized, looks like. :)
In my area, no one has ever obeyed the arrows.
In certain aisles, social distancing (I HATE to even type those words) is completely ignored.
I hate Michael Chertoff...
Yeah, that ain’t good.
I went to a few restaurants in late January and February.
Places smelled like they had just been decontaminated.
Really got in the way of enjoying the food, which you couldn’t smell and hence taste.
Agreed. May as well stay closed.
