[quote=Anonymous]No, I'd never let my tween go to that alone or with a parent. We went there (parents, two kids ages 13 and 12) for the first time a few weeks ago. It was a shit show even in the broad daylight. We were aggressively bumped several times, two teenagers cut in front of my kids while they were trying to board the coaster so my husband and I were able to get on the platform but not the kids. Ride attendants did nothing.

But I think that's the kind of crowd you get when it's so inexpensive. A year membership is something like $7/month. That's the cost of a fast food meal. It is effectively a really cheap babysitters. You can drop your kids off for several hours, come back and get them before bedtime (or if they have their own car, just say see ya) and you don’t need to parent for a full day.

I’m sure some parents use this as a babysitter so they can go to work themselves but it does mean that the kids who ransack Six Flags are potentially under-parented and certainly under-structured.

Just a hot mess. No staff, no security, positioned just so that neighboring counties can complain it’s full of hoodlums and gangs giving it a bad reputation that makes attendance low enough that they can’t afford to make improvements to safety which makes the neighbors complain that…[/quote]
