Adventureland, the outdoor
amusement park in Farmingdale, announced Tuesday that it won’t be having “any
type of 2020 season,” and will remain closed until spring 2021.
A letter sent by Adventureland
explained that the park was confident that it could open to patrons, but had
not received any guidance from the state.
“The safety of you, your families, and our more than 650 employees comes first, as it always has since Adventureland opened 58 years ago. We never thought there would be a season when we could not welcome Long Island into our gates and on to our rides and we hope there will never be one again. Despite our preparedness and our confidence that we can welcome guests into our park safely, as we approach the end of October still without guidance and instruction regarding reopening from our state leaders, Adventureland has no choice but to officially end our hopes of an outdoor season and focus on our 2021 season.”
According to the announcement,
Adventureland would continue to host drive-in movies and drive-in concerts
through the fall.
