When Will Disneyland Open Again?
We're starting to see the first signs of life at Southern California's theme park scene. SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE: SEAS) has received approval from local officials to open its original theme park -- with some pretty significant restrictions -- in San Diego.
When SeaWorld San Diego reopens in a few days it will be limited to outdoor animal exhibits. It will not be able to operate any rides or indoor aquariums and attractions, but if it gets the turnstiles moving for the time in more than five months it's better than the alternative. Cedar Fair's (NYSE: FUN) Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park has also resumed pared back operations with an outdoor dining and retail experience. It's naturally not the same experience without the rides and other attractions, but it'll do for the new normal.
A few miles southeast of Knott's Berry Farm, Disney's (NYSE: DIS) original Disneyland theme park and the adjacent Disney's California Adventure remain closed. The Downtown Disney entertainment district just outside of the two gated attractions has begun a phased reopening, but there's no timeline for a return of the actual theme parks. California is getting there with its theme parks, but it's just not ready to party like it's 2019.
