Its “single ride” system that is normally available at Disneyland Paris has been discontinued during the coronavirus pandemic.

The system allows individuals to skip long queues by taking available seats next to people other than in their own party.

Disneyland Paris’ staff and visitors above 11 are required to wear a face mask.

Disneyland Paris has given its visitors the freedom to scream their hearts out on roller coasters unlike its sister theme park, Disneyland Japan.

"If the client wants to scream we're not going to tell them not to ... it's still a theme park, people come to enjoy themselves. In complete safety, of course," said the head of park operations, Marco Bernini.

During a press visit, the park's main street was eerily empty as staff stood by rides ahead of reopening next Wednesday.

Disneyland declined to release last year's visitor numbers or to provide a forecast for this year. In 2016, it reported 13.4 million visitors.
