Six Flags, Eureka

I arrived with my daughter, son and their friend. The first thing was getting accosted by a Park Photographer. I look up and say, �Thanks, but no.� He does not yield and stays in front of us as we make our way to the lockers by your customer service area. He implores again for a photo and I explain, �No, now please move aside.� This guy is now actually blocking me and my family from entering the locker area and he�s actually starring me down. I cannot believe this and actually feel he�s becoming a threat. I explain that he needs to move out of my way or there�s going to be a problem and we�ll be taking this to the park manager. He explains he�s doing his job (since when is harrassment a job function ?). I reply he has done his job, we don�t want a photo and please move aside. He finally, still starring me down, we�re practically chest to chest and he moves to one side.

All I can think is that this is nuts. But it gets nuttier.

The two teenagers head off for the roller coasters. I tell my eleven year old son to wait as I go to the men�s room. I come out and he�s nearly in tears saying the security guard wants to talk to me.

The guard asked if I had an altercation with a photographer. I explained that the photographer could not take no for an answer and had actually blocked my path. Bill explained he just wanted to take a picture. I said he needed to understand what the word, �No,� meant. Bill explained that the photographer felt I had threatened him. I said only threatened by the fact I was going to the manager if he did not back off. The guard then says he's going to be keeping an eye on me.

Never to a Six Flags, ever again.
