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.
