I expect them to be the first of many smaller attractions opening in the next week or so. Really all of the "smaller attractions" on the recovery force's agenda are places I wouldn't be surprised to see open before June.H20 Live water park opens May 23rd (Saturday!)

Also, on the mask thing, as much as I think masks should be everywhere, it is very understandable why it would not be permitted in the water. You'd basically be water boarding people.
Yeah, I get it if you are going down a slide or whatever. It's just not practical. But if you are just laying out for a tan, I may not be wearing a mask, but i'd certainly try to wear some sort of face covering such as a towel or something.
But I also won't be going to water parks until this is over, so I won't have to worry about any of that.
Meeting dates: Universal Opens invite only June 1-4, general public on the 5th.
