Michigan's Adventure + Six Flags Great America Opening Only Waterparks Soon

At the same time of this announcement, the park has also made it clear that the rides in Michigan's Adventure will not be operating in 2020. The park has always had a much shorter season than the other Cedar Fair parks, closing out the season at the end of summer, so in that regard this makes sense.
The parks that have opened ride-only operations appear to be having light attendance - not only for Cedar Fair - so the method of opening a water park only makes sense to me. It's been a rather hot summer so far in many parts of the country, so perhaps there will be a larger draw for the water attractions rather than steel rides. Also of note, I am not sure and did not research whether Michigan and Illinois are allowing theme parks to open, it could be that only water parks are allowed at this point.
WildWater Adventure at Michigan's Adventure will require a reservation to visit, and the park will follow the same standards that other Cedar Fair parks have employed - including mandatory face masks. Right now the park's hours reflect operations Thursday through Sunday only, 11 am to 6 pm each day.

The safety standards set in place at other Six Flags parks that have already opened will be used at Hurricane Harbor Chicago. Guests must make a reservation to visit ahead of time, wear masks and practice social distancing while at the park.
Hurricane Harbor Chicago was set to debut a brand new water roller coaster, named Tsunami Surge, which has now officially been delayed until the 2021 season.
For now the park appears to be saying that the theme park is remaining closed at the moment, I'm not seeing them list that it definitely will not open in 2020 as Michigan's Adventure said.
