Kongeparken in Stavanger appears to be the only major amusement park actually planning to open on Monday June 1 itself.

"We're going to be working super hard to make the park and safe and to put in place the necessary infection protection information so that both guests and adventurers can enjoy a safe and pleasant park," the park wrote on its website.
