My day at Six Flags...

Well, I took my little cousin out to Six Flags yesterday since neither one of us had been in a while. Everything was going great, up until about 1:00...

While we're standing in line for one of the rides, this group of 4-6 black kids jumped in front of us in line. Naturally, our instinct was to jump back in front of them. As soon as we did, one of the kids told us that we were "cheating" and it wasn't fair. I told him to go to hell, and the melee began! He came at me at punched me in the face two or three times, I can't remember exactly.

Anyhow, the whole place had already cleared out, so there was basically nobody around. With my nose busted open, and blood going everywhere, I jumped on him and got him in a headlock. I rammed his head into the metal reailing about six times until one of his friends screamed at me, saying "let go, you're hurting him." I finally let go of the kid, and he took off like a bullet. He ended up with like a gallon of my blood on him.

Security finally showed up and put out a search for the group of kids. They took me to first aid and cleaned me up while they were looking for the kids. An hour or so later, they still had nothing. It just happened that the kid who hit me was wearing, along with everyone else, a pair of blue jeans and a dark colored t-shirt. They told me and my cousin that we could stay at the first-aid station for the rest of the day (8 more hours), so that if they caught anyone, we could ID them. We just said **** it, and headed on home.

I went to the hospital late yesterday, and it turns out that my nose if broken. This comes at a great time considering that I've got a job interview tomorrow and graduation ceremonies this Friday.

I don't think I'll be going to Six Flags again for a while. :rolleyes:

joe :D

    Cripes, sounds like a lousy afternoon. Try and get some grade 'A' pain killers out of the deal.

    I'll never go back to the Six Flags out here in LA. It's nothing but a breeding ground for gangs...ain't worth it. I'll stick to the happiest place on earth.

    Hope your nose heals quickly.


    Peace Out~:D

    Geez, dude, I'm glad you're alright (and that you got to open a can of whoop ****). The Six Flags in New Jersey is nothing like that!

    Damn!


    We went to Fiesta (not Six Flags) in San Antonio this weekend. It's like a city wide celebration. NOTHING but drunk and high people. We were there for 30min and left, it was pure shiat.

    Fiesta Texas, Six Flags woulda been better.

    Joe,

    Why would you want to be picking on younger, underpriviledged children who have been unjustly victimized by society??

    Actually Fiesta Texas is a Six Flags park, just with a different name/theme for San Antonio. Just like Astroworld in Houston, and they are all the same. Often dangerous and overun by thugs, but if you go at the right time/season it's ok.

    Last year we had season tickets for Disney World (8 hour drive 1300.00, made 4 trips), this year we said let's try Six Flags season tickets (40 min. drive 200.00, so far 0 trips)

    I hope we don't have this problem we live near the exact same Six Flags park! Guys I have not heard of this "gangland" problem, hope it is not as bad as you make it sound.

    Take a day off, pull the kids outta school, and go during the week. I hate those arrogant little punks, makes me steam just thinking about it.

    I NEVER go to places like that on a weekend or holiday if I can possibly avoid it. However, the whole handicap thing is a TOTAL scam, front of the line on everything, baby.

    Don't you love cutting in line?!? Here is the biggest scam. You go in the singles line, which always moves faster, then you and a buddy jump into together! Works everytime. Who needs to wait 3 hours to ride one lousy ride.

    Anyway, Six Flags is a pretty rough place. You just gotta stick up for yourself (which it sounds like you did) and don't take **** from nobody! :D
