Safety A Concern At Amusement Park

Some are delighted and some are concerned at a traveling outdoor amusement park that recently opened in Albertville.

Was decorated war vet.

Tonight - one traveling outdoor amusement park is open in albertville.

While some people are concerned because of the pandemic - others are happy for a fun, new alternative.

Waay 31's sophia borrelli is live after questioning the amusement park manager about your safety.

One of the first things the manager told me is they're limiting the number of people inside the park here at albertville gateway plaza off 431.

They are also asking people to social distance when the park opens daily at 5.

Madison kissel, manager: "all of our employees do have to go through a health screening prior to the start of the shift and they do have to have a temperature check every time they check in."

Madison kissel listed some of the safety precautions at the traveling outdoor amusement park in albertville.

They also put markers on the ground instructing people where to stand in line.

Madison kissel, manager: "our team members disinfect the ride prior to the start of each ride and after the ride."

They also have sanitizing wipes so that people can also wipe down the ride if they choose.

Madison kissel, manager: "we do have a security team that walks around just kindly reminding people to please social distance."

Madison kissel, manager: "all of our team members are required to wear a face mask at all times and then any of our food cafe workers, they have to wear gloves as well and there is plexiglass up to shield from themselves and the customers."

Kissel told me the park is still operating because employees have bills to pay and hope to bring a little bit of fun back to communities.

But people in albertville have mixed emotions.

Anthony mccamey, lives in scottsboro: "if they're allowing everyone to go out and go back to school, go back to work, go to parks and go to pools, and do all of this, go to the beaches, why can't you go to the fair and enjoy yourself the same way."

Carla feehan, lives in guntersville: "to have a fair right now with the numbers going up, i just think it's just ridiculous to do that and to expose our children to those germs."

Kissel says they are doing everything they can to keep their customers safe.

Madison kissel, manager: "team member safety and guest safety has always been our number one priority."

Kissel says any customer should wear a mask and limit their time in the park so that others can come in and enjoy.
