Houston-area water park responds of public criticism of social distancing efforts
HOUSTON Social media is reacting to a water park in the Houston-area for failing to follow COVID-19 health regulations. Typhoon Texas in Katy recently live-streamed a video that received a lot of comments from people criticizing guests of failing to social distance. We have taken several steps to ensure a safe family-friendly waterpark experience with acceptable social distancing for loungers, cabanas and seating areas. Measures taken include hand sanitation stations, tube disinfecting at every use, health & social distance signage, and tips on a Good. As for masks, the Centers for Disease Control advises against wearing them in water as they can be difficult to breathe through when wet.

Have a Splashtown season pass? Here is how you can use it to get into Typhoon Texas
HOUSTON – If you have a Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown season pass you can’t use right now because the Spring water park is closed, Typhoon Texas in Katy says “Come on over!” They’ll let you in with it. Your 2020 Splashtown season pass is good for the remainder of the 2020 season at Typhoon Texas. You have to buy a 2021 Typhoon Texas season pass. If Splashtown does eventually reopen this season, Typhoon Texas says you can still enjoy both parks. Typhoon Texas is requiring guests to make reservations in advance before visiting the park so they can limit capacity and allow enough space for social distancing.
