ATBW During The COVID-19 Pandemic

ATBW During The COVID-19 Pandemic was a period of time in which ATBW Holdings LLC was forced to close a majority of businesses and seize production of movies and TV shows. It was the first period that bulk closures and delays and cancellations have been placed since Langile Corporation During World War II. ATBW City and ATBW Theme Parks closed, many events were postponed or even cancelled, meetings were switched to virtual, movies and TV shows were impacted, and the company was impacted by the COVID-19 recession, the first major recession since the Great Depression.

While having been aware of it since February 25, 2020, things kept continuing normally until March 15 when parks closed. The park would eventually reopen in June but with mask mandates and social distancing. It was open briefly until closing again October 27, 2020, which remained closed until February 10, 2021.
