Anyone older than 2 years will be required to wear a face covering. Guests will be required to use hand sanitizer before boarding rides or attractions.

"Excitement, happiness. We were locked up for such a long time. Feels good to be back out here and have fun," said one fan.

The park is encouraging online ticket purchases and contactless payments.

The park opened to season passholders last weekend. The park is open from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
