Abstract

Late spring, early summer 2020, theme parks across the World started to publish their plans for reopening. In this regard, this chapter ventures into critical questions like what did theme parks learn from the first ‘reopening’? What worked and what has changed? Have or will visitors return? Drafted as
an exploratory paper this chapter brings forth the strategies adopted by the theme parks in the quest to return to the normal.
