Jun 20 (soranews24.com) - Top bosses of Japan’s most popular thrill ride park sit down and shut up.
With Japan’s overall number of COVID-19 cases decreasing, the country’s theme parks, which have been closed for months, are looking for ways they can safely reopen before the end of the summer vacation series. A recent initiative, which is being promoted by East Japan and West Japan Theme Park Associations includes the eyebrow-raising, mouth-shutting instruction for parks to urge guests to “refrain from screaming†when riding roller coasters.
The initiative has the support of Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan, but it’s going to be a particularly big challenge for Yamanashi Prefecture amusement park Fuji-Q Highland. See, while Disney and USJ’s beloved cartoon characters and movie tie-ups are their chief draws, the primary reason people go to Fuji-Q Highland (which is a doable day trip from Tokyo) is because it has Japan’s finest selection of thrill rides, such as marquee roller coaster Fujiyama.
