Pretty sad. My wife & kids had season passes last year. They usually went on week days. I remember being around 14 & buying a season pass with money I made cutting grass. I was the only person in my family that had one but there were two families on the street with kids my age that had passes. We would get someone's mom to drop us off in the morning & pick us up when the park closed. We had a blast. Idiots ruin everything.

We stopped going pretty early to the one in Valencia/Newhall. north of L.A. Too many gangs!!! People would get mugged (one guy pick a fight, then everybody jumps the other guy and rob him!)

Well, since they didn't mention it, my guess is it was the Amish.

Two comments. First it's Atlanta, and my nephew lives there. And second, it's Six Flags. They have a long history of violence at their parks.

Sadly, don't go to any events where there are a lot of people/crowds. Have not gone out to amusement parks in decades and would rather go to other types of parks. During the good weather months, parks where I can sit in a lawn chair, read a book or listen to music. Water from the Truckee nearby. Take a lunch in a picnic basket. Only have to worry about bears at one nice park, as they like the berries that surround the park. Hopefully they only come out at night to eat, otherwise too noisy for them during the day. Rarely go out on weekends as usually on weekdays people are either working or in school. That being the best time to run errands. I do carry when I go out...

ONLY park I go to these days is a local DOG PARK** that is well maintained in Zephyrhills, FL; Some good regulars every morning, Duke Dog chases the tennis ball Several times and us owners have good conversations.

** Gunner Dog Park on Alton Ave.

My birthday is in the fall, during the school year. When I was little, since we never traveled anywhere over my birthday, my parents took us down to Six Flags in St. Louis.

Three hour drive down, we show up, empty parking lot…They closed for the season the weekend before we got there.

So I’ve never been to a six Flags.

Man, I used to work at the one in Newhall/Saugus. I was a ride operator/security guard back in the late 70’s. Had a lot of fun- great way to meet girls…

Probably one of those deplorable MAGA Amish.

And then the gangs adopted it as their playground/combat zone.

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

Big surprise! Looks like the usual suspects were involved...

that sounds like the script to a movie I saw once...

I have been to one Six Flags one time. My grandson Chris, who some of you have met, used to work on the roller coasters at the one in MD (near DC). Only problem I had was getting in. They have a metal detector and it buzzed on my boy scout pocket knife. I was told that I couldn't bring it in. I got into a discussion about it and a Security 'person' told me that I had to return it to my car or she would have to 'throw me out' (she dressed out about 340 so I really wasn't too worried about anything except possibly her sitting on me). To keep peace in the family I took the 'dangerous weapon' back to the car. I have spent lots of time at Hershey Park and have never seen any trouble there.

 

[remshooter]

not just 6 flags .The same bunch has been doing the same thing for years ,, at Louisville Kentucky Kingdom amusment park and at Ohios Kings Island amusment park. but according to my sister ,we are not supposed to say anything about it.. I wont go to them anymore because of this

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

I won’t go to places where they wand you or use a metal detector. I figure if my gun isn’t welcome, neither am I. I don’t like leaving my security in the hands of strangers.

 

[Randyzzz]

And then the gangs adopted it as their playground/combat zone.

Ain’t that the truth. I can’t stand those amusement parks anymore. Guess I’m an old fart. There’s not a whole lot I deem worthy of a long wait in line.

Over the last few years several of the local ethnic festivals and county fairs in the area have been ruined by behavior like this. There used to be an occasional fight at an event usually fueled by over indulgence at the beer tent but it was quickly stopped. Lately unruly patrons have become the new normal. I refuse to attend events where things like this happen. I feel bad for families just trying to have a good time and it turns into a manure menagerie...

They've had a few of those at Kansas City's Worlds of Fun in recent years, albeit with less shooting. Same demographic.

For the last ten years I lived in the KC metro I wouldn't go near the Plaza for the same reason because "wilding" attacks were all the rage. Which is why the nicer shopping destinations in KC are all in the suburbs now, like the Legends developments in North Kansas City and out by the racetrack on the Kansas side of the state line. Everything closer in is dying a slow death. Again, crime, driven by a particular demographic.

Somebody on Facebook was saying the other day that they're closing the Independence Mall due to all the crime, which is in an area I frequented when I lived up there. Last I saw, the Blue Ridge mall was a shadow of its former self; it may be gone by now. Bannister Mall on I-435 out toward Grandview is long gone. Again, crime, driven by a particular demographic. And then there was the Super Bowl parade shooting . . .

They've spent generations building, encouraging, excusing, weaponizing and mollycoddling a largely black, entirely feral urban underclass for political advantage and then have the nerve to act surprised at the result. "Oh, gosh, what can we do?"

Well, the logical solution would be certainly draconian and arguably racist. It's just that society isn't quite fed up enough to implement it. Then again, racism - not least the bigotry of low expectations, plus the Left trying out the Uno Reverse Card sort of racism - is precisely how the problem was created in the first place.

in the article the Six Flags spokesperson said, " underaged youth".... I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as overaged youth.... actually I would be more worried about them.....
