http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008 ... sitor.html "An employee dressed as a werewolf at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee this week lost his balance while on stilts and fell through the window of a park restaurant, injuring a guest, officials said today.
The incident happened at Antoine's Ice Cream Parlor about 7:15 p.m. Sunday, Gurnee police said.
The guest, who was standing near the window, was taken to a local hospital where she was treated for a cut on her cheek and released, said the park's public relations manager, Brooke Gabbert.
The werewolf was not injured, Gabbert said."

Well, I imagine that a werewold coming through the window of an ice cream storm would be quite scary.

The only injury to the guest was a small piece of glass scraping them. Screw the media.

I as being a jerk yesterday because when I saw the werewolves, I started saying "Don't fall!" I feel bad about it now, but it seemed funny at the time.

^ I would not think so because I don't think he meant to hurt anyone or even fall.

This happened the day before Columbus day, it was fixed by Monday. Surprised there's no sort of lawsuit yet.

Alright so yesterday, I was at the park. We were walking out of Seven Sins Cemetery and walked through an outdoor hallway into a restaurant. While walking through we saw a wolf on stilts and 4 park employees helping him walk through, so I think they are trying to be a lot more careful. Also, anyone who has been to Necro this season, have you noticed a LOT of park managers/security? I counted more security people and staff than actual scare actors.
