A Six Flags fight this past Saturday turned a Halloween celebration called Fright Fest into a fight fest that resulted in multiple injuries at Six Flags America. One 15-year-old boy was beaten so severely during the Six Flags fight that he’s in a coma.
In a related report by The Inquisitr, earlier this month the iconic Colossus roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain caught fire and the peak of one section even collapsed. There was also a belief that a Six Flags fight might break out when Six Flags held military appreciation day at the same time as Muslim family day.
According to Fox News, initially the company denied that the Six Flags fight even took place, saying, “Reports of mass fighting or serious injuries are completely inaccurate. The safety of our guests is of top priority.” But Six Flags officially changed their stance when they released a statement on Sunday night that said, “This park has a zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior. We will not allow any individuals or groups to disrupt the typical atmosphere of fun and enjoyment found here.”
Initial 911 reports began to stream in at about 8:50 p.m. local time that violence had broken out. According to witnesses, the Six Flags fight was not simply a single brawl that grew in size. There were multiple fights throughout the park, even outside the gates. Some customers claim there were not enough security personnel available to handle the crowds.
According to The Washington Post, Katrina Walker dropped off her son and two of his friends for a birthday celebration at the park and she says the Six Flags fight was total chaos.
“It was panic, mayhem, chaos,” said Walker. “Everyone was fearful. . .parents were very scared because we had no idea if our children were hurt or if they got in the middle of something.”
Zina Pierre is a family friend of the DuVal High School freshman whose skull was fractured. She says the boy was caught up in the Six Flags fight even though he didn’t want to be involved.
“His life is lying in the balance as a result of someone randomly hitting him,” said Pierre. “He was hit blindly by the perpetrators and he was staggering, trying to get up, and some else came along to finish the deed. He should be in school today. He shouldn’t be in the hospital.”
Doctors put him into an induced coma to prevent further brain stimulation that could complicate his injuries. Fortunately, police say the youth is expected to survive the attack.
The Six Flags fight resulted in a variety of injuries, from missing teeth to bruises and cuts. Some witnesses even say they saw someone wielding a knife. Police have not made any arrests yet and the incident is being investigated.
I live in the DC area and NEVER go to Six Flags due to its location. We have passes to King’s Dominion but that place is getting run over by the undertow from Richmond.
We love to spend time at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg although they are more expensive and quite a drive from our home. The higher prices seem to keep out a lot of the riff-raff and makes for a very enjoyable time there.
The one in Maryland just a few miles east of the DC Beltway.
Has the Supreme Court ruled yet that none of those flags can be the American one?

Everyone I know who goes to those places comes home with some kind of koodie.
NOW would be the very worst time to continue this kind of irresponsible ‘mix’ with the general public.
“Islam is the enemy and will continue to be until completely, utterly, whole-heartedly eliminated.
That’s as in...wipe them out.
Wipe them all out.”
Start in DC...
Sloppy journalism
Is that not SOP these days......Incompetent boobs in the print media
All Six Flags are thug parks.I refuse to visit any of them.
In SoCal it’s gangland.
Where was this?
This story, Dr. King, shows why your daughter could not go to the amusement park. She could go now, if she wanted to, Dr. King, but too bad the amusement parks are now ruined for everyone.
If I were the Six Flags CEO, I would have the legal dept add a clause to the ticket contract: "Ticket purchaser assumes legal liability for all behavior of person admitted to park under this ticket". Then arrange for the businesses to very discretely be notified of the new clause.
From the article, “just playing a game”. I wonder what “game” that would be?
My neighbor had season passes for there a couple of years ago. Some people called out a guy for cutting in line and the guy got in neighbors face screaming obscenities and threatening him in front of his kids.
At the StL zoo we were with our grandkids and there were lots of school buses in the parking lot. There were literally packs of these kids pushing everyone else out of the way.
Any guess what the common denominator was in these incidents?
“Fright Fest into a fight fest “
how cute. The reporter must really be proud of his writing ability.
Trivializing a brutal feral attack by out of control savages.
And the one in Texas was good when I worked there back on the early 70’s.
Years ago, my wife and I with some of her family were at Universal during Halloween time. They close the park early then reopen two hours later with separate admission and stay open to midnight.
While it was neat at first, it rapidly turned to roving bands of drunken teenagers and twentysomethings. We swore we would never again go during Halloween.
The malls, chain restaurants (like Applebee’s, Red Lobster, etc.), public amusement facilities, Laclede’s Landing, Delmar’s Loop, etc. are all being devoured by these savage parasites. And yet they stand in the middle of W. Florissant Avenue (Ground Zero in Ferguson for you non-St. Louis residents) and demand that WE change our behavior and way of thinking. Their M.O., though, is rather clever: they mass their strength and deploy it against a numerically weaker enemy. I mean, they’re going up against individual families at Six Flags - thirty or forty sociopathic beasts swarming five normal humans from the suburbs (only one of whom is a grown male). It’s the same scenario in Ferguson. The taxpayers up there aren’t organized (although they SHOULD be), and have no hope of confronting the several hundred screaming zulus who’re stomping through their streets at midnight screeching “No Justice! No Sleep!”
Because I predict some white people gonna start beating on black people.
Sure as the sun comes up in the morning.
I wouldn’t be so sure...PC has done quite a good job in cowing white folks into submission.
Then there’s always a “hate crime” charge to consider if whitey even thinks about defending himself in some places...
I have never gone to 6 Flags and I don’t plan to as long as the sub-human savages are allowed to roam and attack at will.
