No Pictures Allowed ???

[Angry_Gumball]

The rules I have read (Six Flags site) stated that guests can take photos for personal use only, not commercial without special permission. And no cameras onboard rides due to safety concerns. So with that said, there shouldn't be any beef taking photos inside the park...well, at a Six Flags anyways...

^Absolutely. It's private property. Parks reserve the right to remove anybody for any reason.

 

So if you were at Cedar Point and a security guard came up to you and said "Dick Kinzel doesn't like your face, you have to leave," you'd have absolutely no problem with it?

^That's a far cry from the "no reason whatsoever" that I initially responded to. So now you are asking a completely different question...

 

To answer your new question, I'd say "Whatever...give me my money back and I'll be on my way." It's their choice to ask me to leave, and certainly wouldn't want to make it worse for myself by making a scene...of course, if a park were dumb enough to actually say that to guest...they'd be asking for trouble in the form of bad PR and a lawsuit.

 

But in reality, no park is just going to kick you out for something as ridiculous as not liking your face (unless your face is covered in offensive or gang related tattoos), so that was a bad example.

 

There's no such thing as parks kicking people out "for no reason at all." There is, however, people being kicked out for what they feel is "no reason at all" because they feel what they did isn't a big deal. But you know what? You're on private property. If a park feels like you did something to warrant being kicked out...it's their right to do exactly that.

This is two different discussions here.

 

Parks are private property. You don't have the same rights on public property as you do when you're out and about. So a park can ask you to leave if they don't like your shoes, they don't like your hair, they feel like kicking you out for whatever and ever. Sure.

 

That being said generally if you're taking photos/videos from somewhere in the park (you're allowed to be in) and you're being hassled, that means you're being jerked around by a park rent-a-cop who is either not very good at understanding park policy or is on a really inflated ego trip. Maybe both.

 

Parks are products which provide interactive entertainment for groups and families, and as such taking pictures and video is integral to the experience for many. Blanket prohibition of photos and videos of ride is just silly and would not be a very good (or even sensible) park policy.
