Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he is in “no hurry” to reopen Disneyland and other California theme parks just one day after his chief medical officer said state officials plan to issue theme park reopening guidelines “as soon as possible.”
The seemingly conflicting statements symbolize the limbo California’s theme park operators find themselves in as they seek long-promised reopening guidelines from the state after nearly seven months of coronavirus closures.
“We are going to be led by a health-first framework and we’re going to be stubborn about it,” Newsom said about theme parks during a news conference. “That’s our commitment — that’s our resolve. We feel there’s no hurry putting out guidelines.”
Newsom said he was “not surprised at all” by Iger’s resignation from the task force and was “incredibly grateful for his support.”
“There’s disagreements in terms of opening a major theme park,” Newsom said of Iger during the news conference. “We’re going to let science and data make that determination.”
