Lots of people are itching to get back to being able to go to theme park. But things will be different.

All of the lines could end up being FastPass-style. You probably wont be sitting next to another stranger on a ride. Riders will be staggered. And when you want to order food, you'll probably be doing so online.

John Sprouls is Universal Orlando Resort's CEO. He said screening may be part of the new world after the pandemic. “We're not sure yet how we're going to do that (screen guests), but we're looking for help from health officials to help us figure out what might be an appropriate protocol to try to minimize the possibility of any sick guests entering the parks.” Sprouls is part of Governor DeSantis' Re-Open Florida Task Force.
