Adventure Landing is a group of amusement parks located in Florida, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The first park was opened in Jacksonville Beach, Florida in 1995 by Adventure Entertainment Company. It was a success and nine other Adventure Landing parks were constructed.

Adventure Landing also manages and operates several other family entertainment centers throughout the United States. In 2012, current parent company Adventure Holdings purchased The Beach Waterpark in Mason, OH, which reopened in May 2013 as The Beach at Adventure Landing. Adventure Landing runs 13 amusement parks nationwide.

COVID-19[]

In March 2020, the parks were shut down due to Covid-19, but have since reopened. As of June 2020, the parks are open with limited capacity. The only exception to this is Max Flight, the rollercoaster simulating attraction at the Jacksonville Beach location, which has been closed until further notice.[1] A few arcade games and dining tables have been removed from inside the buildings to allow visitors more room for social distancing. In terms of the Shipwreck Island Water Park, precautions have been taken to ensure guest safety. Pool chemistry is electronically monitored to meet chlorine level requirements made by the Department of Health.[2]

A few other changes have been made due to Covid-19. Hand sanitizing stations are located throughout the premises and high touch points are regularly sanitized. All employees (aside from lifeguards) are required to wear face masks and gloves for the safety of guests. Markers have been added six feet apart on the ground and have been placed anywhere that may promote a line to form such as for food, water slides, or purchasing tickets.  

As for the guests, they are encouraged to wear face masks inside the park. Tents have been set up outside the building to allow workers to keep track of the number of people entering and to take the guests' temperatures.[3]
