Great America in Santa Clara implements new chaperone policy for its youth guests. Park officials say the new rules are in response to a rise in unruly and inappropriate behavior at the park in recent years.
"Over the past two years, there have been increasing incidents of unruly and inappropriate behavior across our industry and at other major entertainment venues," Great America said on its website.
Under the new rule, a chaperone must present, at park entry, a valid government-issued photo identification with date of birth, no more than 10 youth guests per one chaperone, and the chaperone must remain inside the park during the visit and be available by phone throughout the stay. "We believe these changes will help ensure that California's Great America continues to have a positive atmosphere where generations of families and friends can gather for a day of safe fun and good food," park officials said.
Officials also alerted guests that the premises were monitored by park security personnel who used surveillance video as well as body worn cameras.
