I was almost in a fight myself. We were in line for Ocean Motion and this woman had gotten out of line and wanted to get back to her family who was farther up in line. Instead of saying excuse me, she grabbed me by the wrist to physically move me out of the way, so that she could pass. Now, since she was coming from behind me, I assumed that it was my brother grabbing me, and I threw my arm back and basically hit her in the face. I apologized and explained that I thought she was someone messing around. For a second I thought her husband was going to kill me.
While I was at a Bengals football game the scoreboard displayed and the AP annouced a phone number to call to report unruly fans. It was something like (555)-555-JERK. Should parks have this type of thing to report line jumping and other problems? Clearly displayed and easy to remember. If you do see line jumping, etc., are you going to get out of line to find an employee? No. Maybe just having the signs displaying the number might discourage some line jumping.

Wow, when did CP take Penn Hills PA School Picnic off of Kennywood? Thats the type of crap that happens during that day at Kennywood, even worse.
Well, I will take the bad guy side a little with BH. I lived in great neighborhoods and some not so great. Each had boneheads, but the amount of boneheads vs. not was what to look at. Color is not a factor here either, If these were mulit bearing white boys, they would be called West Virginia Trailer Trash in a minute (and would probably be correct).
We want to talk Chicago. I was around and in the former Robert Taylor (somewhere off of I94 and I90 I believe) homes complex back in the early - mid nineties. This was not a fun area. to be in. I was also in Schaumburg, not fun but safe. I can only say, what I saw in this video was similar to the Robert Taylor homes and not Scaumburg.
Sorry for the long rant and let the flame begin. Although, if your going to flame. Please, at least have experienced the different areas of the cities in our country. And no, viewing Boyz-In-The-Hood on your plasma does not qualify...
I would rather watch this than UFC!

I think they need that more for the players in Cincy, not for the fans.

Yeah I heard Mike Brown is wanting to start up a prison bowl league, for his players that get in trouble with the law.
All joking aside, In my past visits to CP can't really remember seeing line jumping. But at KI, in May of this year there were lots. Some people think there better than others, and they think that gives them the right to jump in line. Or for meeting up with a group, that should have waited for them before getting in line. Only thing I can see helping this is someone watching line the hole day, not just a quick pass by.

You know Cedar Point used to be a safe, cool place to go to. Now you cant even go there without getting your stuff stolen, people cutting in line, and people that start a fight in a public place. What is happening to this so called family park.
The same thing that is happening to the rest of the world: No....Home....Training!!! Don't ever go to Disney parks--they will cut lines worse than any other park in the country. And when you call them out they will say "Sorry! Don't understand (english)(bologna!)" Parents have given up all hope on rearing their children correctly. I didn't come from "an affluent" neighborhood or family, but guess what? My mom and dad raised me with good morals. It all starts in the home,people! I can't view the video so I have no idea how old the girls look, but if they look teeny, maybe cp can instill a new policy for kids under 18 to not come to the park without a parent/guardian present,haha!! (don't think so)
fast...Faster...FASTEST!

I was at CP many years ago and while in line for Raptor, a kid in front of me decided to light an M80 and throw it into the vacant queue area...a CP cop saw him do it. Two cops, one being huge, dragged him through the guard rails while banging his head on them and out through the emergency exit. We got a big chuckle out of it. Was really funny that none of his friends followed with him. They just stayed in line and rode. LOL
