Six Flags has announced plans for reopening its theme and water parks in 2021.
In a press release, the amusement park giant is celebrating its 60th anniversary, so the company said they would welcome guests back while following safety measures in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mexico City, and Canada.
The company said the reopening dates of all 26 of its parks would be based on local, state, and federal COVID-19 guidelines.
In a statement, Six Flags Vice President of Park Operations Bonnie Weber said the parks last year safely entertained millions of guests at 21 of their 26 parks.
"We kept our guests and team members safe by requiring masks to be worn in the parks, providing contactless temperature and security screenings, enhancing our cleaning and sanitization measures, and closely monitoring attendance throughout operating hours in order to maintain proper social distancing," Weber said.
The company also announced they plan to hire thousands as they gear to reopen.
