With the pandemic still in full swing, many theme parks are testing out different ways to open their gates this holiday season. Jessica and Ashleigh (The Theme Parkettes) attend two types of these holiday events - a completely contactless drive-thru park experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain and a mostly contact-free outdoor food festival at Knott's Berry Farm - and report their findings. Is it worth it for theme parks to pivot to these type of events and are they worth your $$$? By the end of this episode, hopefully The Theme Parkettes help you decide.
