California Amusement Parks Can Open on April 1 — but Please, No Screaming on the Rides

According to USA TODAY, the trade group California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA) is now recommending that amusement park visitors in the state avoid activities like singing, heavy breathing, and yes, screaming.


The reasoning for this stems from the fact that these activities increase the spread of viruses, according to USA TODAY. Screaming, singing, heavy breathing, and generally projecting your voice can also project more droplets from your mouth and nose into the air.

So that amazingly scary roller coaster you've been wanting to ride? You'll want to keep your mouth closed the whole time.

This advice isn't new to the amusement park industry. Back in May 2020, the East and West Japan Theme Park Associations recommended a "no screaming" policy on roller coasters, with some parks even offering special face mask decals to fake a scream while riding.

Not screaming on a roller coaster might be a big task for many people, so it might be best to stick to gentler rides for the time being.

Photos Surface of Fugitive El Chapo Drinking & Flying in Plane

Mexico is in a state of emergency after kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from prison again, and photos have surfaced of him allegedly drinking a beer and flying in a plane. The photos leaked on a Twitter page allegedly belonging to the crime boss' son, but the photos have yet to be verified. Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil doubts that Guzman's son would leak the photos, telling the San Antonio Express-News, "I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape." The feared kingpin escaped from Altiplanoa, maximum security prison in Mexico, via a mile-long tunnel that many suspect was dug with help from the outside. El Chapo also escaped from prison in 2001 via a laundry cart, and he was found thirteen years later on a Mexican beach resort.

Tyga Reacts to Criticism Over "The Gold Album" Sales

Tyga recently released his latest project, "The Gold Album," on Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube for free due to his conflicts with YMCMB, so the rapper was shocked that he was getting criticism over album sales. The L.A.-born emcee took to Twitter to respond to Complex writing a story about how Nielsen SoundScan showed the album selling a mere 2,200 copies. Tyga said that he didn't even intend to make money off of the project and added, "Yall mfs is funny. I put my album out myself for free on spotify,soundcloud, YouTube to stream. Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."
