Astonishment as Rosa Parks is mentioned over Thorpe Park mask rule

The mask debate took an even stranger turn after customers are fuming at Thorpe Park for asking customers to wear makes on ride.

If you don’t want to wear a mask you have to go to the back of the ride.

One mother reacted with fury after visiting the attraction only to find her daughter could not enjoy the rides.

“My 18 year old at Thorpe park today, mask exempt-had to ride at the back of the rides!” she wrote.

One person added: “This is segregation. You should be taken to court. You do not discriminate against people like this for useless masks that don’t work or for anything else. If masks did work you wouldn’t be worried about sitting next to a maskless person. Apologise to these people.”

A spokesperson for Thorpe Park said: “In line with our ride restrictions, all our guests who are mask exempt are required to sit in the row farthest to the back to reduce the risk of air transmission aboard our attractions. If you do wish to discuss further, please pop us a DM.”

Reactions

A lot of people simply could not believe that comparison with Rosa Parks were discussed in terms of this issue.
