I'm going to be going to Six Flags in the Balti/DC area.

Anyone been? What's their policy on knives? Do they use metal detectors and the like? What about x-rays on your bags?

I hate that naked feeling when I'm without a sharpened prybar on me somewhere...

Thankee.

Six Flags America has a no-knives policy; they use metal detectors at the gate. Last year, they actually looked at my keychain, and as a result, I had to stash my Ladybug in a planter out front before I could get in.

They don't have x-ray machines, but will probably look through bags.
 
Hmmm.

That really sucks.

Thank you for the info. Better safe than losing a knife to the guards, I guess.

Went to Six Flags earlier this year and had my fanny pack searched by security and they confiscated my P-38 can opener. This was prior to the metal detector. Security is very anal there. Hope this helps.
 
Yep, they are pretty strict and anal there. I went about a month ago, and had to remove my belt because it had a metal buckle when I went in the first time. Then I went out to the parking lot, and went back in. Didn't have to empty my pockets or anything, just walked right on in. :rolleyes: But this was at th NJ Six Flags, not that it would differ at any of the other ones.
 
sheesh....next time I go to Six Flags I'm going to check the planters for some pointy stuff.....:eek:
 
I have this horrible image of needing to cut a tag off a stuffed animal or some poor dangling 1" hemp rope and only having my teeth....gasp... ;)

Thanks, guys. This is really gonna hurt. I'd gotten used to carrying something except for on the plane and in courtrooms... Sigh.

Six Flags. Well I guess I'll scratch that one off of my list of places that I'll be visiting, back home next year. :(
 
DISNEYLAND boys, the Happiest Place On Earth! Why, because you can have your knife available to open containers, toy packages et al. My son went this summer to 6Flags and Disneyland. Comrade Patriot at the FLAGS but no problem at Disneys place.I'll bet Walt had a pocket knife.
 
Good Evening All-



Six Flags Great Adventure? Oh, you mean the same one that's sponsoring The Great Muslim Day Adventure this upcoming September 17th at their New Jersey location? God forbid a law-abiding American carries a little SAK, but this politically-correct place will invite thousands of Muslims to their site...the same folks who pioneered innovative use of boxcutters on aircraft:
"Imam Zaid Shakir will lead Jummah prayers at Six Flags Great Adventure at 2 pm, Insha Allah. Be there! Last time, this event was attended by more than 10,000 Muslims, making it the largest Muslim gathering in the North East. Insha Allah, this year, this multi-ethnic event will bring Muslims together in fun environment and we will be able to teach our kids while they enjoy their day in the park."

Give me a break. I can find much better ways to spend my money. My apologies if this post is pushing the envelope, but I find the business practices of Six Flags to be unrealistic and unwholesome.

BJ,

Not to argue, but also on September 17th, the Baltimore Six Flags will be hosting the Great Lockheed-Martin Corporate Experience Day... the whole park will be L-M employees (not that I am one, but I'm affiliated with one...)

Maybe the ICNA just rented out the whole park...

Dunno if that changes your opinion, but my guess is that they can't officially turn down an organization that wants to rent the park and can pay, maybe, under equal opportunity legislation?

I'm with ya though.

If anyone has been to the Balt/DC Six Flags then you know EXACTLY why they have metal detectors and a "no knife" policy. It ain't Disney World....infact it could very well be called Ghetto World

I don't want to make a visit there sound like a bad idea cause they do have some cool rides. You just need to be very aware of where that particular Six Flags is located. It is not your typical theme park environment like say Bush Gardens in VA.
 
Hi biogon-

Yeah, it's a bit of a ranting post on my part...

I have to figure when over 10,000 Muslims from the eastern half of the United States congregate in one spot, there are more than a few attendees who wouldn't mind a little jihad in our great country. The leaders of groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been silent in recent years and refuses to criticize fellow Muslims. I'm sure many of these so-called leaders will be in attendance and preaching to the masses.

Meanwhile, some dude named "Michael Smith" whose ancestors arrived six generations ago and fought in the Civil War gets hassled because he has a SAK on his keychain! :confused: !:eek:

Dark Nemesis,

Luckily, L-M rented the whole park for only L-M employees. Now, the question is... are L-M employees as scary as the regular clientele? I shall report back when I find out. Perhaps by then I shall also tell you whether I -should- have snuck a little toy in with me, as well. ;)

Blue Jays,

I know, I know... something's a little off with that picture, isn't it!? Bleh... Don't get me started on policy, or else this'll get moved to W&C... ;)

Take care.

LOL sounds a lot like Universal Walk in Studio City. :D

The positive side are all of the sexy bimbos strutting...

All the best and be safe and fun,

You afraid someone's going to try to hijack a roller coaster?

Forget it, I'm not going to get in a flame war about six flags.
