The biggest mask compliance issues were in queues and on rides. I think that correlation may be a clientele thing. Teens and young adults seemed to be the most willing to violate rules and there was a much higher ratio of those groups in queues and on coasters than on the paths. Families, by and large, seemed to be the most diligent rule-followers.
If I had to estimate, 90-ish% compliance on rides and in queues, 97% on paths and the like.
I will also say though that the only social distancing or mask enforcement I witnessed was on paths. The ride ops I encountered seemed entirely disinterested in telling people to keep their masks on—and both employees I saw breaking the rules were coaster ops—one of which was a supervisor who was not social distancing despite not having her mask on.
Overall, realistically, I’m not expecting 100% compliance, so I’m pretty happy with what I saw at SFA today. There is definitely some room for improvement here and there, but it is clear to me that the park is taking it seriously and, at least with today’s pass holder crowd, the message seems to be getting through.
Now, when I go back on the 4th, we’ll see how things actually hold up...
