I have read many reports on Six flags and the violence they used to have there. I am planning on going there in August and i am wondering if they are still having problems with gang violence or has it been corrected. thanks
If there was an incident every year, that would be A LOT... and still only a 1 in 250 (I think they are closed like 100 days a year? No?) chance of it happening on the day you are there. The odds of you being in the same part of the park are smaller than that, and the odds of you being involved would be 1 in... millions. My guess is that the drive to/from SFMM outweigh the risks of being there by several orders of magnitude... like 1000x as many people hurt/killed in car accidents driving there as are hurt/killed in the park.
That said, what to expect at SFMM. HOT!!!! Lots of kids running around being jerks. LONG lines at a few key rides early, then long lines everywhere later. Poor maintenance, trash, more unruly teens, young adults making messes.
LOTS of awesome, extreme thrill rides.
Lots of line cutters, jerks, people trashing the park.
Oh, did I mention HOT!!!!!
I love SFMM for the thrill rides. It is just a a mirror image of
Disneyland when it comes to the behavior of most guests. I've seen more strollers parked outside Pirates at one time, then I have seen inside SFMM in an entire day.
