The park closed in mid-March amid the coronavirus pandemic
The parks had closed indefinitely amid the coronavirus pandemic in mid-March.
The company plans to start the process of reopening its parks on June 1, but will not welcome public visitors until June 5. "On the 3rd and the 4th we’ll have some invited guests, some annual pass holders, to stress the system and make sure it works," said John Sprouls, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Universal Parks and Resorts.There will be additional screenings, increased sanitation and social distancing measures.
As was previously recommended by the task force, all guests and employees will wear facial coverings. If a guest arrives without a mask, a disposable one will be provided to them.“We mapped out the guest journey, and every single point where they come in contact with us….and tried to identify every single touchpoint that we would have with the guest so we can keep them safe," said Sprouls.
Some of those efforts include staggering parking to keep visitors apart as they arrive, temperature checks at all main entrances, contactless purchases for food and spaced-out lines for attractions that keep guests six feet apart. Employees will start training on the new safety measures this weekend in preparation for the opening. They will be required to do self-temperature checks at home daily and once they arrive to work. They will also observe social distancing requirements in break areas and will no longer share wardrobes.
