2 women arrested after Carowinds fight

FORT MILL Two patrons at Carowinds face assault charges after an argument about line-jumping at a roller coaster, police say.

Two women were each charged with assault and battery and banned from the Fort Mill-area amusement park following an altercation Sunday night, according to a York County Sheriff’s Office report.

The fight started when a 21-year-old York woman reportedly put out her arm to block another woman from cutting in line at the Thunder Road roller coaster.

The other woman, a 17-year-old from Greenville, knocked her arm away and the fight ensued, the report states. Both women were scratched in the fight.

Both were arrested, charged and banned from the park.

When I read the article earlier today all I could do is laugh. Some people are so stupid these days.

Dialog:

Lady 1: Put yo arm down so I can line jump you.
Lady 2: No, just go to one of the other empty lines. Oh and if you are lucky you will get to ride again!
Lady 1: Arg! Move your arm!
Lady 2: NO!
*Fight Begins featuring scratches*
Ride Opp: Load Clear? Unload Clear? All Clear!

Oh wow that was funny. We had alot of line jumpers the last time I went. There was this group behind us waiting for the rapids and they thought they would be sneaky and jump one at a time with the whole my groups up there excuse. So my family and friends just spread out so no one could get around us. They tried one more time and I said oh well you should have gotten in line when they did and they didn't try anymore. People were jumping terrible in the Intimidator line which was sad because we didn't wait more than 15 minutes in line to ride it.

I guess they just couldn't wait for the next train to come in. Funny, sounds like that would be me getting arrested on the wrong day. I hate the "my group is just up there" Shoulda got in line when they did, not getting by me.
