Gulf Islands Waterpark is now open for the season
With the temperatures starting to rise as the summer months roll around, you can now cool off at Gulf Islands Waterpark.
- with the temperatures starting- to rise as the summer - months roll around, you can now- cool off at gulf islands- waterpark.- the waterpark opened saturday - for the first time this season.- their opening was delayed due t- the coronavirus - safety restrictions from the- state and city, - resulting in about six weeks of- lost revenue for the park,- mostly from pre-season sales of- season passes.- while gulf islands may be open- to guests again, operating- at 50 percent capacity, new - guidelines and rules have been- put in place by the park to - insure the safety and - health of visitors.
- - mark moore, general manager: "w had - alot to do in a very short- amount of time.
It usually take- two-and-a-half months to- open the park.
We did it in - about two-and-a- half weeks.
So- very different time table, so - you end up focusing on- priorities and spreading queue- - - - lines out.
The water slides, fo- example, now all the queue line- are on the ground rather than - actually being on the - tower.
We have queue lines- socially distanced throughout - the park.
We've - moved most our food and beverag- operation to online ordering, s- that's one- less lie you have to stand in.- so it's just that type of - thinking throughout our - operation of how do we get- people every to come and have a- good time and
