Knoebels already updates mask-wearing policy after opening day

The original policy said guests over the age of 2 had to wear one unless you had certain medical conditions. Now, guests must wear a mask inside the park.

ELYSBURG, Pa. — Knoebels announced Wednesday night that starting Thursday, July 2, guests must wear a mask inside the park.

In a post to the park's Facebook page, the new rule is every guest over the age of two must be in a mask.

The original policy said guests over the age of two had to wear one unless you had certain medical conditions.

We've been told our candidness is appreciated - So we're just going ... to be open and honest. We tried our best to communicate a mask policy that took into account valid conditions that could prevent a guest from wearing a mask.

Parks officials say they made the decision after evaluating the opening day. 

Masks can be taken off while dining but must be on in every other part of the park. 

Guests are also welcome to use face shields, but they cannot be used on rides, only masks.
