That's not funny being beat up by people.

I was referring to the two idiots who deserve to lose their jobs. I'm on the victims side here.
It's not the event that's funny, it's the stupidity of the two employees that's funny.

This is a common problem that can only be solved by the parents/or guardians. How often do you read about violent acts in schools for example?

I feel for the person in costume because i used do characters at the park a while back and I can understand what she was going through for one thing your dealing with being hot and then you got someone hitting you for no reason. Usually this was done by guests, but employees, that's not good... :roll:

Here's another link with a little more detail. My only thought is that either these two young men were drunk/high or monumentally stupid. (or both alternatively)

The woman inside the costume could have easily suffered some kind of whiplash injury, especially as she has no peripheral vision to even see some of the punches coming in. I hope these individuals are fired, and that the woman doesn't end up with any lingering injuries.

That's probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. What made them think that was a good idea I'll never know. On a happier not- did anybody else notice the stock photo ABC used? Shockwave is in the background :lol:

Could explain the noticeable lack of characters at the park yesterday. Including the aforementioned Porky Pig.

Okay in all seriousness....IT IS...it's a mascot getting jacked up...lmao You're telling me you never EVER even thought about hitting a person in one of those stupid suits? If not, then go apply for your nobel peace prize mr. perfect.


How old are you? Fourteen?

Please go back to thinking beating people up is "cool."

That's really horrible! They should know better.

Side note, where was MY news article when I was pepper sprayed! :lol:

No I have never thought of punching/beating up a character!!!!!

It is a difficult job, and made worse with the warm weather in summer and how they are often treated by guests!!w

G-H-E-T-T-O

Being from Waukegan, it not a surprise that these residents are from the same hometown as me. Its a shame. Six Flags really needs to reconsider who they are hiring. I know they were off duty, but seriously? I mean come on. When I used to work there, so many problems were going on through the park because people were immature and morons.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

Trust me, I know what you mean, I have been asked "What do you want?" from food service rather than "Hi, How may I help you?" I mean, come on! :roll:

^ I can top that. I was just starred at and then she said, "Are you going to order something, or just stand there?!" I just left and went to Guest Relations, they apologized and gave me a free food voucher. The person stressed their apology, I'm sure they just really don't want bad press about customer service, along with food service. One thing that really gets me angry though, is when I say hello to an employee and they simply stare at me. I would then say, "I know Hank Salemi." Some just continued to ignore me, but a guy once said, "Oh! Have a Six Flags Day!" I felt excited.

Anyways, I don't know why I ranted on about that. These guys were stupid, they got a beating, and were fired. :D
