Interesting thing with the time that is in the article. If this took place on Sunday the 19th, the park was only open till 8 PM. So, makes you wonder what was going on between park close and 8:45 PM.
I got pretty pissed when I got a re-entry stamp...then 2 mins later was denied entrance
I even went to lying and said I had stuff in a locker, and my family was in the park and they didn't do anything for me. They were just like "oh well fill out a complaint about the staff person and what happened". I was like "NO! Why the hell did I get a stamp then when I shouldn't have gotten one in the first place"!!! Then they basically admitted it was the workers fault, but still didn't let us in. I wrote a total of 3 complaints during different visits...I was pissed!
