“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
 
Thousands of small businesses have been negatively impacted waiting for the “all clear” horn to sound allowing us to reopen responsibly in a safe environment.
To that end, SFC will implement the following protocol upon approval to reopen our amusement, water park and arcade:

• we will change our facility to a gated park, all who enter must have a wristband and pay an admission fee.  (our capacity will be cut to 25% of its limit).
• We will establish an adult and child pricing structure. 
• There will be one entrance and one exit to the park attractions and all other doors will be monitored by staff.  Ticket sales and wrist bands will be done from the outside ticketing booth. 
• We will screen and test each person who attends our facility. This includes a health questionnaire, body temperature not greater than 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit and a O2 (pulse oximeter) saturation of not less than 95%. 
• We will register and keep records of all guests (must provide name, e-mail and phone number for each guest) in case of any necessary follow-up. 
• A waiver must be signed by all guests excluding SFC from any liability regarding safety or Covid-19. 
• Additional hand washing stations will be available throughout the park.
• Pedestrian walking patterns will be created using directional signs, limiting face to face contact with other guests.
• Appropriate nose and mouth coverings must be utilized if guests are unable to social distance themselves. 
• We will not reopen high physical contact attractions such as our play zone, laser tag, inflatables (bouncy houses). 
• Prior reservations are preferable where the guest will be able to choose a date preference up to a predetermined amount of purchases per day. If the reservations are not full that day we will accept walk-ins.  Each group of guests will be guided by a designated ride attendant who will ensure social distancing.
• Prepaid online via credit card use will be the accepted method of payment. 
• Guests will be provided with a menu to check off their choice of food items and it will be prepared and served to them outside to prevent lines at the concession stand.   Alternatively, a app/texting option may be available for orders/pickup. 
• We will have Three types of Birthday Party options and the hostess of that party will also become the ride attendant for all guests of that party.  Only Two parties per hour will be scheduled so that we only have one party per each dining area.  Plus we can accommodate up to Ten parties in the water park. 
• All tables and chairs will be spread to create a minimum of 6 feet of distance between each one.
• All indoor attractions will be strictly volume controlled and monitored and a physical barrier will be placed between guests and staff for their protection. 
• Train and roller coaster rides will have limited capacity for seating and operate on the hour.
• Our water park pools will be maintained at the highest & safest level of chlorination possible and the lazy river will require floating in only one direction.
• All park rules will be strictly enforced as always and reinforced by signage and staff.
• We will also comply with any other mandates or protocols specified by the Governor, Health Department, CDC or the World Health Organization.
• If you are denied access for any reason (such as a fever) there will be no refunds given but you will be able to utilize your wristband at a later date.
