Six Flags, the US amusement park company, is launching a new app that enables guests to order food without having to make any contact. The app is part of the theme parks’ social distancing initiatives.

The Mobile Food Ordering app will allow visitors to order food and beverages at dining locations across Six Flags parks remotely. As Bonnie Sherman Weber, senior vice president of in-park service at Six Flags, explains: “Social distancing is a key component of our operations. By utilising Mobile Food Ordering, guests will spend significantly less time in food lines and more time enjoying their visit.

“More than 75% of our dining locations now offer this option, with more being added daily.

“We are thrilled to offer our guests the convenience of ordering their favourite theme park foods right from the palm of their hands,” Weber continued.

Visitors need to download the Six Flags app and select ‘Mobile Ordering’ on the restaurant tab. Food can be selected and customised and then paid for electronically. Guests will receive instructions on how to pick their food up when it is ready.
