The article I read is called “Why can’t Americans stay away from theme parks right now?” It was published to Mic.com on September 11.

The article talks about theme parks rising back to popularity after reopening from coronavirus closures. Over Labor Day weekend, theme parks in Orlando like Disney World and Universal Studies maxed out their, now lower, capacities for the first time since reopening.

Even though Florida theme parks were sold out over Labor Day, its been a rough year for the theme park businesses. Disney’s parks suffered a nearly $10 billion decline in revenue this year.

I think this article’s audience would be people interested in theme parks and people trying to figure out whether or not it would be safe to go to a theme park during a pandemic. The article was written very factually and didn’t really hate on Disney or Universal for being open, they simply stated facts regarding them being up and running.

I would have liked if this article would’ve had a quote, because as we have learned quotes kind of put things into context and make them more meaningful. I would’ve liked a quote from a higher up at Disney or Universal or maybe a quote from someone who has attended a theme park since they’ve reopened and could attest to the safety of the parks.
