Starting Saturday, May 22nd Six Flags Great Escapes will not require masks for guests that are fully vaccinated.

Great Escapes will allow fully vaccinated staff the choice to not wear a mask while they are working. In the press release and the article at News10 regarding the change in their mask policy, they didn't mention any other changes for their Covid safety policies in the park. Like social distancing, riders being separated on the attractions, and reduced seating.
