RollerNut Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Heart breaking that my home park has to deal with crap like this, but I really think that all amusement parks should require id of the adults and minors that are being dropped off. That way should something happen the parks would have an idea as to who may be involved and who to call for an emergency contact. I figure three line employees doing such would cost around $500-700 a day. 3 Quote
rhyano Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 very sad, but not really surprising, Carowinds isn't on the nicest side of town.. 3 Quote

The Interpreter Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Victim a 14 year old. We are supposed to be comforted as this was apparently "not random"? Really? Terp, profoundly disturbed, thinking of a four letter word that begins and ends with the letter g. 3 Quote
Imperial79 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 An eyewitness at the gas station next to the park, heard a guy in a car, say he wanted to go into the park and assault the victim... I'm very glad that didn't happen. Quote
ethancoaster Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 There was also gunfire at Northlake Mall in Charlotte today...Again? That's less than twenty minutes from my house...Very unfortunate event to happen at Carowinds, barely a year after that giant parking lot fight. And to think that we live in the most peaceful time in human history... 1 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 So if I go next year maybe look for a campground not close by? 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 You aren't going to find a campground very close to Carowinds. I stay down in South Carolina, south of the park. As has previously been stated, the park is not located in the nicest part of Charlotte... 1 Quote

While not quite the nicest part of Charlotte, it is far from the worst. Gang related is my guess too. 1 Quote
