It is here that Cora and her charge, Louise Brooks, take their first steps towards their dreams. It is here, in a time when illicit thrills and daring glamour sizzle beneath the laws of propriety that her life truly begins. It is here under the bright lights of Broadway, in a time when prohibition reigns and speakeasies with their forbidden whispers behind closed doors thrive, that Cora finds what she has been searching for. Cora will be many things in her lifetime - an orphan, a mother, a wife, a mistress - but in New York she is a chaperone and her life is about to change. This girl is hungry for stardom and Cora for something she doesn't yet know. She is charged with the care of a stunning young girl with a jet-black fringe and eyes wild and wise beyond her fifteen years. A chaperone must present a valid government-issued photo ID, and is allowed to accompany no more than 10 youths 15 and younger each day.On a summer's day in 1922 Cora Carlisle boards a train from Wichita, Kansas, to New York City, leaving behind a marriage that's not as perfect as it seems and a past that she buried long ago. The safety measures have been shown to help, Ferlaak said.Ĭhaperones at Valleyfair aren't required to hang out with the kids, but must remain inside the park during the visit and be available by phone.
Similar policies have been implemented in many parks and other major entertainment venues across the United States to clamp down on unruly and inappropriate incidents that have spiked in the past couple years. Ohio-based Cedar Fair has implemented chaperone policies at most of its regional amusement parks. The safety changes were initiated by Valleyfair's owner, Cedar Fair, though there was no specific incident that prompted it, Ferlaak said. "We want to make sure that everybody who comes to the park has a great family time and that everybody feels safe." "Safety is paramount to Valleyfair," said spokeswoman Melissa Ferlaak.
The policy went into effect Saturday and was enforced at Valleyfair's opening Sunday. Valleyfair opened over Mother's Day weekend with a new chaperone policy that officials say will help keep people safe at the Shakopee amusement park.Ĭhildren and teens 15 and younger must be accompanied by a chaperone at least 21 years old in order to enter or stay in the park after 4 p.m.
