Theme park operators in the United States who spent months installing hand sanitising stations, figuring out how to disinfect rollercoaster seats and checking the temperatures of guests at the gates so they’d come back in the midst of the pandemic are finding many reluctant to return.

Some parks have reduced operating days, slashed ticket prices, and closed early for the year because of lower-than-hoped attendance – expectations weren’t high to begin with – along with the uncertainty of what’s to come with the coronavirus. A few parks have been unable to open their gates at all because of state and local health restrictions.
