Hong Kong Disneyland announced that it will reopen on September 25.
The outside world is watching the situation of Hong Kong people's "championship" and also watching how much lost income it can recover.
However, before all results have been achieved, the situation of some colleagues in the United States may serve as a reference for local theme parks.
The Associated Press reported on September 7 that those theme parks in the United States worked very hard to prepare for the resumption of business, such as installing disinfection stations, thinking about how to disinfect roller coaster seats, and checking the temperature of tourists, but they found that tourists are enthusiastic about returning to the park. , "Reheating" is not as fast as they thought.
Some theme parks in the United States do not expect that many people will "return" in the early stages of reopening. Some have reduced the number of business days, cut fares, and closed earlier.
In the week of early September, Disneyland in the United States reduced the daily business hours of four parks in Florida by one to two hours.
Orlando Disney World Magic Kingdom has cancelled its annual Halloween party after closing.
The Universal Orlando Resort in the United States also cancelled the Halloween Horror Nights event.

The number of admissions is not as good as before
Kennywood Park, a theme park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been postponed twice in 2020 and the ticket price has been halved.
When explaining why Phantom Fright Nights and Holiday Lights events were cancelled, spokesman Nick Paradise said that it is difficult to predict what will happen in the next few months. "The safest thing to do is to accept it when you see it."
When Kennywood Park reopened in July, the number of attendance was low, but after people felt more comfortable with the park’s safety measures, the number of people increased.

The crowds are slowly "returning"
Mike Spanos, chief executive of Six Flags, said at the end of July that the number of attendees is expected to rebound after the crisis is resolved.
However, the number may rise or fall due to the increase or decrease of confirmed cases in individual places.
He said that the company conducts surveys with customers every week. Some people say that they want to go out when the infection curve is flat, while others say that they will feel at ease with the vaccine.
Some people objected to the park’s requirement that people wear masks, so they stopped coming.
Quassy Amusement & Waterpark in Connecticut is also facing a similar situation, but the co-owner of the park, George Frantzis, said that people’s resistance has decreased, but there are still several people who don’t believe in this kind of epidemic prevention measures every day.
He said that business in the park is still slowing down on weekdays. "It's still a bit busy on weekends because people have nothing to do."
