Noah's Ark closed until further notice after two employees test positive for COVID-19

Noah's Ark Waterpark, which fired its general manager last month after he called COVID-19 a "phantom China virus" and a proposed mask requirement unconstitutional, closed until further notice Saturday after two employees tested positive for the virus.

The popular Wisconsin Dells attraction announced the decision on its website at www.noahsarkwaterpark.com and said it will be working closely with the Sauk County Health Department and other experts on how to move forward.

"The first and foremost priority of Noah’s Ark is the health and safety of our Guests and Team Members," the statement said.

The closure came as a statewide mask mandate took effect Saturday and state health officials reported 1,062 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 13 coronavirus-related deaths.

1. What did they expect?

July 4th weekend we drove through there. Wall to wall people, no social distancing, no masks. Same at Mt Olympus and outdoor portion of Kalahari. It was only a matter of time. None of these places should be open, especially in the Dells.

2. Precisely

I got a laugh out of the statement regarding their number one priority. It would seem that is not actually the case.

3. If Noah and family die from Covid we are all doomed.

4. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I knew there were some not-so-bright people in our state (and coming in from others), but this whole COVID-19 thing has proven to me my estimates were seriously low.
