Japan to ban screaming on roller coaster rides.

Thoughts ?

Not ban, but advice against screaming and cheering. The reason: keep your mouth closed with covid.

I'd say it's reasonable, but a strange request to say the least.

I always thought screaming is involuntary. Especially for young people.

Fair enough... this is an odd one. It feels contradictory to attempt to reduce new cases but also open up amusement parks.

The last place I would expect to catch covid is from the person cheering in front of my on a roller coaster :shrug:

i cant scream on amusement park rides if its really that thrilling. if its giving me enough adrenaline then my brain is focusing on surviving, not making noise lol
