The owners of the well-known resort, at Ingoldmells, near Skegness, say they're "busy putting measures in place" for the site's reopening, once the government go-ahead is given.
Only visitors who've booked rides online will be permitted on the site and a "free entry, one-way walk-through system" will be in place for the resort's Market Town when the resort is open once again.
The measures will be aimed at ensuring social distancing and "keeping our employees, visitors and the wider community safe", the resort's owners say.
"We will do our all to keep you safe and therefore, we are looking to make some changes to the way that we operate our resort," they add.

Seacroft Golf Club in Skegness is allowing members to play in pairs and has implemented measures to make sure people can play safely.

Police say they will continue to use a "common sense" approach to dealing with potential coronavirus breaches as the lockdown eases in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.
Humberside Police said the pandemic had been a challenging time for police officers who have had to "balance" dealing with new legislation with day-to-day policing.
The government announced that from today, people can take unlimited exercise, as well as new rules about meeting people outside of their household.
Ch Con Lee Freeman said adhering to social distancing guidelines isn't something police can deal with, but gatherings of three people or more from outside their household aren't allowed.
He said: "Our policing approach at Humberside Police will continue to use common sense and discretion.
"We will continue to deliver day-to-day policing and where we see potential breaches, we will engage, explain and encourage members of the public to comply with the new rules.
"As before, we will only use enforcement where we feel we have no other option," he added.
