Have you ridden Everest today? I’d be curious if one would be required there.

Everest goes inside. Specifically after the backwards drop. You'd also need it on for most of the queue (which is indoors, directly before loading) and the gift shop exit. I feel confident saying that masks are still required for Everest.

Even if they are not forcing people to wear masks on the ride, they should if they're following CDC guidelines, as it's very clearly a building. It has walls, doors, and even air conditioning. Never mind that people who wouldn't wear masks on the ride probably would forget to put them on before entering the gift shop. It's just a recipe for rule breaking, if they are.

Just asking the question mate. I think people will want to know which rides require it and which don’t for a variety of reasons.

Completely understand. I was just answering it with reasoning that I believe makes sense. It's an indoor/outdoor coaster. I don't see how they could argue that it's all outdoors.

Then again, they did get away with it on JC, which goes through the cave/temple scene. Jungle Cruise doesn't exit it into an airconditioned gift shop though. I think that would slow the ride down if they had to wait for people to reapply masks before entering. I still speculate a lot wouldn't and just walk through it unmasked.

Yup, that’s my thought. If it’s not required on jungle cruise then I’d think attractions like Big Thunder and Everest wouldn’t require it but they may not be being consistent across all attractions.
