Thai Amusement Park Uses Animal Mascots To Ensure Social Distancing On Rides

Social distance mascots at Yoyoland


Yoyoland is an indoor amusement park in Seacon Square Srinakarin shopping mall in Bangkok that has come up with a brilliant idea to ensure everyone’s safety during the pandemic.

The park’s employees are dressed in animal mascots and occupy a row between kids on selected rides to keep a safe distance between everyone, while adding some fun to the place.  

Furthermore, all mascots wear giant face masks on their face to encourage visitors to keep their masks on.


Strict health measures implemented

Besides social distancing, Yoyoland has also set up a body temperature checkpoint at the entrance to make sure no visitors are sick. Everyone who enters the park must wear face masks as well. 

All are also required to write down their full names and phone numbers so that authorities can easily inform them if there’s a new infection from the area. 


Frequently touched areas are cleaned every 30 minutes.
