Face coverings, however, do not have to be worn while on rides.
Social distancing will also be enforced in ride lines.
Lagoon has stated the following
-For safety and protection, guests are required to wear a face covering (mask) in order to enter the park
-Restaurants will follow the current State of Utah guidelines for dine-in service
-Staff will wear face coverings and gloves in appropriate locations throughout the park
-Established schedules are in place to sanitize high-touch areas frequently. These may include door handles, trash receptacle touch points, buttons, handrails, tables, seats, branches, restroom areas and facilities, door knobs, light switches, queue rails, restraints, ATM machines, dining surfaces, etc.
-Team members are prohibited from coming to work if they are ill and if their health will be checked at the beginning of each shift. Managers/leadership have been trained to identify symptoms of COVID-19 and to be clear on relevant protocols.
-Team members have been trained on the importance of regular and thorough hand washing.
-Guests are advised to use their best judgment when determining the safety of themselves and their families
-Guests are encouraged to practice healthy hygiene and avoid visiting if they feel ill or are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.
-Guests will be prohibited from gathering in large groups and are encouraged to move throughout the park to facilitate limited exposure time. As a large percentage of Lagoon’s attendance is family members living in the same household, employees will consider this when encouraging appropriate social distancing.
-Marks will be placed at queues and other appropriate areas to facilitate distancing guidelines. Signs will be posted, making it easier for guests to understand their expectations.
-Clear barriers are being installed in locations throughout the park where it may be difficult to maintain social distancing requirements, such as sales registers.

-Other than restrooms located throughout the park to facilitate frequent hand-washing, hand sanitizer stations will be provided at the entrance to the park, key walkways, all attractions, at food and beverage locations, in merchandise shops, etc.
-Guests will be asked to sanitize their hands as they enter the queue to board an attraction and as they exit. Ride and queue surfaces frequently touched will be regularly sanitized. These include handrails, armrests, restraints, lap bars, seat belts, etc.
-Regular cleaning of rides and attractions, including intervals during operational times to sanitize seats, restraints, handles, queue fence, etc.
-Ride and attraction capacity may be reduced/managed to aid appropriate social distancing
-Ride operators/attendants are not able to physically insist children into or out of rides. Parents or supervising companions will need to assist children who may need help.
