Theme parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood will have to wait until their counties reach the least restrictive yellow tier, under the state’s new guidelines released Tuesday.

Major theme parks will only be allowed to reopen in the yellow tier, and even then, with only 25% capacity and other health restrictions. Smaller theme parks will be able to open outdoor attractions if and when their home counties reach the orange, or third, tier of the reopening roadmap.

The decision to reopen Disneyland, in particular, has been a struggle. 

Disneyland President Ken Potrock said in a statement released on Twitter that the new guidelines ignored the work that the park has put in to reopen safely.

California's Director of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly made the announcement on YouTube (below).

All theme parks must implement a reservation system and screen guests for symptoms in advance. Face coverings will be mandatory throughout the park unless people are eating or drinking.

Theme parks have been shut down since mid-March. 

New guidelines were also issued for sporting events at outdoor stadiums. Some sports can resume once their county moves into the orange tier, but capacity will be limited to 20%. Once a county improves to the yellow tier, capacity can go up to 25%.

Ticket sales at these venues will be restricted to customers within a 120-mile radius, and must be purchased in advance. Venues will not be allowed to sell tickets on the day of an event, and eating and drinking must be done in assigned seats.

Masks will be required when not eating or drinking, and tailgating at sports events will not be allowed.
