Blackballing "Bad" Guests

Within the last year I have probably ridden to or driven to an amusement park in no less then 10 different cars.

As for how to police a banning, well I have heard that a certain unnamed enthusiasts Picture is hanging in Dragtser's station. Even if that isn't true I think it's a good idea.

If I was part of a coaster, I would be an upstop pad on an Arrow Mine Train.

Some parks I've been to require some form of ID to purchase tickets, I suppose it could be possible to rig a computer to recognize the card of a banned person, but of course, the park would have to figure out a way to get the trouble maker's ID in the computer to start with.

I've *never* been asked to show ID while purchasing a ticket. Ever.

Where is that the norm?

I didn't mean to suggest that race was at all pertinent to the discussion. Rather, I was curious as to where the proverbial line in the sand is with regard to discrimination against customers.

Obviously, a park can't refuse admission to guests because of their skin color -- but they can refuse admission based on what they're wearing, for example. Where's the limit?

The limit is if said person could prevent the thing that gets them refused. You cannot prevent what the color of your skin is, you were born that way, however, you can prevent yourself from wearing inappropriate clothing, or from behaving inappropriately.

Ask yourself; When was the last time YOU visited Conneaut Lake Park?

You know, the casinos have regular communication lines about 'cheaters and thieves'. They all work together to protect their investments. The parks could do the same type of thing, without employing all the high-tech, expensive gadgitry that goes with it. All it would take is a list of names.

Enforcing it, however, is obviously the problem. Granted you could deny access to Season Pass holders (yes, the parks have the legal right to ban those that they feel are a threat to rider safety), but catching them at the gate would be a different matter.

We as enthusiasts need to take a proactive stance and turn those in to security who are breaking the saftely rules, not purchase videos (or make) made by on-ride cameras, and become examples of proper rider expected behaviors.

I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.
