I'm sure the common cold (rhinovirus) has always been widely spread at theme parks (think of the handrails in the queues) but the death rate is almost non-existent, so guests and park owners pretty much ignore that risk. It's a lot different right now with Covid-19. Putting tens of thousands of people together in any location (sports arenas, theme parks, etc.) while the virus is still being widely spread is pretty much guaranteed of creating a super-super-spreader event.
