Following a yearlong hiatus due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown officials are planning to reopen May 1 for the 2021 season.
Despite several attempts to reopen last year—as previously reported by Community Impact Newspaper—Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring remained closed for the duration of the 2020 season due to challenges related to COVID-19. As a result, park officials said, all season passes and pre-purchased tickets for the 2020 season will be valid for the 2021 season.
"Last year, we set the standard for operating our parks safely, and entertained millions of guests in adherence to government, and CDC health guidelines at 21 of our 26 parks," said Bonnie Weber, senior vice president of park operations, in a statement. "We offered a local and outdoor entertainment venue spanning dozens to hundreds of acres where families and friends could safely spend time together. We kept our guests and team members safe by requiring masks to be worn in the parks, providing contactless temperature and security screenings, enhancing our cleaning and sanitization measures, and closely monitoring attendance throughout operating hours in order to maintain proper social distancing."
This year, Six Flags Entertainment Corp. plans to open all 26 of its theme parks and water parks, including Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, with a slate of health and safety protocols in place, officials announced in a news release Feb. 19. This year's season will also mark the company's 60th anniversary.
