There really was a brawl in the parking lot. My friend was there, and has a video of a bunch of people throwing punches in the parking lot. So the fight thing is definitely true. :thumbup:

Even without the sign and park rule, it is illegal in NC and SC to carry a firearm anywhere admission is charged. No amount of security will keep weapons out as some undesirable folks sneak into the park by jumping a fence. I saw a group do that at Scarowinds a few years ago and they were long gone by the time I got it reported. But I am not scared to be at Carowinds or Scarowinds. I suspect much of the fighting was between people who knew each other.

Jeff you're wrong about that in NC. Law was recently changed Source
I keep up with all the laws as I'm a NC CCW permit holder, took the mandated 8 hours class and shooting proficiency test on it.

And I found a video of the thugs and tasers going off from this week. The tasers and screams go off near end of video.
(Warning Profanity in video, as usual at SCarowinds)

^even though I didn't watch the video, it baffles me how much you rip on Carowinds. It's like you want Carowinds to fail. If you have that mentality, as it comes across, why are you on a Carowinds FANsite in the first place? If you're not a fan, fine but don't go trashing Caroiwnds on its unofficial FANsite.

PS: we know you have a concealed carry permit. You can stop mentioning it now.

I didn't want to have to say this but I guess it has to be said . Jonathan (Admin) has warned other people in the past for attacking members including myself.. You can comment on here all you want but you and Edwardo aren't allowed to attack me personally.

I'm free to express my opinion on park security and violence as much as anyone else. If you don't like it then feel free to ignore my posts but stop calling me out personally because you don't like my take on it.

^ I agree with you tbh. Some people act as if they want to pick fights/bicker.
Anyways.... Scarowinds! Sounds great this year! What day of the weekend is the best/most dead(hehe)? I would guess Friday but I'm not sure.

This is probably a stupid question, but I honestly have no clue. Can I still buy Fast Lane Plus during Scarowinds? If so, is it cheaper than usual or more expensive? From what I can tell, it's still $75, but the park is only open for about 5 hours in the evening. Is it really worth it if we come on a Friday night?

Yes first edwardo telling me to "stop posting troll" and now you telling me to "log off"
both of you are issuing orders to me and it's getting frustrating as I have been talking about the park and you guys have a problem with it.

Jonathan has temporarily banned a few over this type of behavior over in the water park thread in the past. Due to users ganging up and telling others to shut up.

Jonathan wrote:Here's the thing, for everybody: This site exists for everyone to share their opinion, whatever their opinion may be. What is not allowed is being hateful because someone doesn't share your way of thinking. Some of the keyboard warrior vitriol and flat out hatred coming from some people is absolutely pathetic and I'm not going to put up with it for much longer. It's difficult because I've personally met a lot of people on this site, so it puts me in an awkward position when people don't respect the rules and are basically challenging me to do something about it. I keep a pretty hands-off approach to moderating, but I've spent 12 years building this site up to what it is and I'm not going to let anyone ruin it no matter who they are. I'm not putting up with people who spend most of their posts being jerks..

People aren't temporarily or even permanently banned from this forum, except for the late night bots that fortunately you guys don’t see? Ignore this unfunny clown.

There are stupid people in all races, don't worry about it. The real issue here isn't that they're black, it's that they don't know (or conveniently forget) how to behave in public. I bet if their parents were right in front of them they wouldn't act so foolish. This same situation could just as easily have been a group of white, asian, or hispanic teenagers/young adults.

________

BTW (because it's been bothering me); the words "thug", "trash", etc. have been thrown around this thread lately, but guess what, looking or sounding a certain way doesn't mean someone is a criminal. And saying they should jack the prices up to keep "those type" out or that you should bring a firearm to "defend yourself" against some kids.. that's a fundamentally ridiculous mindset. The same one that possesses some people (like the ones with orange skin and a bad toupee, for example) to think building a wall will keep the so-called "riff-raff" from Charlotte out of their precious Ballantyne, and the undocumented out of this country... :crazy:
