No one could’ve imagined Cedar Point would start its 150th season during a pandemic, that’s what is happening. The amusement park plans to open its gates Thursday after the COVID-19 health crisis delayed the start of the season. The new normal at Cedar Point will require everyone over the age of two to wear a face mask, even on the rides which the staff has tested. In reality the lines will be shorter since they’re going to start off by allowing only 20% capacity into the park“We know we have enough room for people to spread out,” said Jason McClure, Cedar Point GM. Adjusting to these new rules will be hard, but they’ve got a team of staff with new roles to enforce these safety guidelines.

Cedar Point has unveiled a plan to open their park for the 2020 season -- with precautions in place for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The park will open initially for Season Passholders only, and shortly thereafter for Cedar Point Resorts guests and guests who have pre-purchased tickets.
