Why Attractions are Different From Other Mass Gatherings

It is important to remember the difference between attractions and other venues for mass gatherings such as sports arenas, movie theaters, and concerts:

• Capacity can be reduced/managed to allow for appropriate social distancing.
• Seating positions in rides and attractions are controlled by employees.
• Exposure time is limited. Guests generally move throughout their experience, much like in an inter-city district or zone. The guests are not sitting in a single location, elbow-to-elbow, for an extended period.
• A large percentage of attraction attendance is made up of family members and others who live in the same home and thus do not need to be physically distanced from each other.
