Wild Arctic, the Penguin ride, the Tower etc... They all say they are closed due to social distancing. But how do they rationalize that now with the mask mandate lifted?
 
Most likely a staffing issue (this is a widespread issue across the hospitality industry), to your point there is really no excuse/justification anymore for those attractions to still be closed..
 
Wild Arctic will probably never reopen (old and broken. The others require a lot of maintenance...cheaper not to run them.
 

Wild Arctic was closed for weeks before the park closure. It probably won't reopen anytime soon. The other 2 could be sooner
 
Wild Arctic likely won't reopen. They won't open "penguin" ride until they no longer have to spray the chemical on the ride vehicles, they drop you off mere feet away from the penguins. Hopefully they open it soon! It blows my mind that people will wait in line for 40 minutes to just walk and see the penguins. They should eliminate the pre-show and just let people walk thru, nobody will stay for too long, it's too cold!
