I HATE SIX FLAGS

After the day from Hell at Six Flags I am officially saying that I will never throw another dollar at Six Flags as long as I live. Their customer service was terrible and they are after nothing but your money and care nothing about their people. Let me rant and rave.

The Day

It was a typical day at Six Flags, we paid their crazy 35 dollars for a ticket, 15 dollars to park, $3.29 for a water in the 96 degree heat of Maryland, waited in their 2 hour lines, paid 21 dollars for a two person lunch and had all of our stuff stolen.

Okay. So maybe the last part was not typical, but the way that their employees handled the situation was terrible.
So in the terrible heat and after dropping a good 15 bucks on water, we decided to go to the water park and cool off. The five guys who were hanging out put all of our stuff, wallets, money, phones, shorts, debit and credit cards, etc. in our friend Dustin’s bag.

We went swimming and everything was fine, we would check in on the bag every now and then and it was great. But then we went to the wave pool and came back ten minutes later and our bags were gone, I was furious as were the other guys. I have never had anything stolen from me and it is a pretty scary feeling. People are terrible.

All of us guys went running around looking for the bag and I took my Dad’s cell phone and called my phone expecting to hear Intergalatic by the Beastie Boys somewhere near by. But we got nothing. Luckily, Dustin headed to “Guest Relations” and our bag was found. We went through the bag however and everything was missing or ruined, my debit card was not stolen, neither was Dustin’s. But my 300 dollar phone was gone as well as all of our money, and all the guy’s phones were trashed. After Dustin came back we all said ‘no way,’ we are going right back to “Guest Relations” to find out about this bag.

At “Guest Relations” we found out that a security guard, who do not like to be called guards but rather officers, returned the bag, which was rather suspicious. The people at Six Flags did not know what the ‘officer’s’ name was, hmm…
So our bag was just mysteriously returned, by an unnamed ‘officer’ and stuff was missing and wet. Weird. The ‘Guest Relations’ workers do not have the ‘officers’ sign in and log when something is brought back, they just have stuff thrown back at them by any random person (whether they work for their company or not) The people inside the ‘Guest Relations’ building were snobby, not in anyway caring about our 400 dollar loss at their over priced park. I filled out their stupid form about my lost content, with all the basic information.

After arguing back and forth with these people, about how they could care less about people and only about our money, I had to do an interview about my stolen content with a “Grade-A” Guard. The information was all on the form I just filled out and I asked why he could not just get the information from that form. He said he could but it would take longer, and he would like to do it this way instead. Wow.

After all of this we finally found out that our bag was found in a toilet, that was why it all of our stuff was wet. And when we were through with Guest Relations we decided to leave, and never return again.

In the end…

So in the end I spent 35 dollars to come to Six Flags, over 15 dollars on water, $10.50 on lunch and lost 300 dollars of property and 10 bucks. All of this money was wasted because I had to spend half of our time dealing with the fine people at Guest Relations who knew nothing about my ‘lost’ items. AND… in my experience with an irritated customer they have always left with something free, not from Six Flags.

So that is it, I am through with Six Flags, forever, and still out towns of money. What a day.
