Masks and distancing on roller coasters? That's the reality as amusement parks reopen across Canada
People wear face masks as they ride 'The Goliath', a roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal, Saturday, July 25, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham HughesTORONTO -- Quebecers who have spent the summer missing the Goliath's 170-foot drops are in luck.
La Ronde has rolled out a new online reservation systems that helps it restrict capacity and stagger entry times, so guests can easily physically distance. "I tried a roller coaster with a mask on and it works just fine," Thevenin said. "I was screaming to my heart's content." Calaway settled on what COVID-19 precautions to take at the park by conferring with public health officials and consulting with other theme parks, though few have reopened in Canada.
Instead of charging guests who wanted to go on rides and letting the rest in free, Jelley said everyone must now pay admission.
