Tokyo:
It may be the most improbable instructional video of all time, but the footage of two Japanese amusement park leaders showing how to “scream in your heart” to avoid spreading COVID-19 on a roller coaster were a resounding success.
“Now our customers are silent when riding a roller coaster,” a spokesperson for the operator of the amusement park operator Fujikyuko, told AFP after the video on the driving label said. the coronavirus era has gone viral.
The video shows the frames, one in a suit and tie, the other in a shirt and bow tie, sitting straight and straight back in silence, with only the only sounds coming from the wind whip and the creaking of a roller coaster.
As they dive down, a frame calmly readjusts his hair and mask, but both remain stoically silent, even if they swing violently in the roller coaster car.
At the end of the journey, a man raises his hands from the seat handles, visibly trembling. A black screen follows with advice that some social media users have dubbed a slogan for 2020: “shout in your heart.”
The video was first released last month as restrictions on coronaviruses eased and the reopening of theme parks asked visitors to avoid shouting and keep a social distance.
“Even if the directives of the amusement parks association ask you to ‘not speak loudly’, we have received complaints, it is ‘difficult’ or ‘impossible’, so Fujikyu Highland offers a good example” , explained the operator on his website with the video.
He promised that customers who could keep their cries silent would get a reduction on the photos taken of them on the park’s Fujiyama coaster, which immerses riders from a height of more than 71 meters.
On Twitter, the images delighted viewers in Japan and around the world.
“This video is a lot of fun,” wrote a Japanese user. Others praised the theme park for inadvertently summarizing how many felt after months of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Literally the best description of 2020 I have ever read: shout in your heart,” wrote a Twitter user.
