Masks are required again while indoors at Disney World, and encouraged at Universal Orlando, as Covid hits Florida worse than ever. That, and more, in this week's theme park news.
, over a year after its previous high. Florida’s awash with the virus right now, and nowhere more so than where most of the state’s theme parks are based.
Social distancing measures, meanwhile, have been almost fully retired at Disney and Universal parks. Masks and social distancing were key to preventing spread before the vaccine, and between these more transmittable variants and insufficient vaccination rates, both need to return to keep guests as safe as they can possibly be. It’d also probably be a smart idea to once again reduce the current daily park capacity, too, but that’s probably just as unlikely as Covid magically disappearing somehow.
Fortunately there is more to talk about this week than the unending spread of the virus. I’m talking about roller coasters, the kind of stuff you probably like reading about, and one coaster in particular that happens to be on a boat, of all places. This week Carnival Cruise Line launched the first ever roller coaster on a cruise ship, as their brand new vessel Mardi Gras set sail with Bolt on board.
