planenut Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Apparently, last Sunday was the worst day ever for trouble being caused by the traveller community who were at the park in large numbers. Several occurrences of queue hopping, pushing and it seems fisticuffs, due to this type behaving in their unsociable way. Glad I didn't go over until Monday.

I know a lot of very nice travellers, there's no need to generalise them all with not very nice terms. yeah, ThorpeTella and PJ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 So do I, there's no need to assume I was talking about them all just because I said they in reference to idiots on the park. Olistjj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Your first post comes across as generalising them all as that. Glitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seems that those that represent that part of our community did not set a very good example on Sunday, so that's the reason most people will only see that. I know some very nice people from all walks of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cian Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Unfortunately, I witnessed a few of these events last Sunday. A friend of mine (one of the roamers), was punched and almost headbutted by a few of the members of the group you're referring to. Fortunately, security dealt with it accordingly and held the little f*cker in a cell until the police took him off park. I have huge respect for the people who are sent to resolve such issues.

The worst I've ever seen and have been told the same from staff. Felt very sorry for all staff working that day Witnessed them raiding shops, starting fights and on every single attraction after 3pm we went on was stopped due to them queue jumping or causing trouble. Completely killed the park atmosphere. It was painful having to wait at everything due to them causing trouble and no security to do anything about it. Not once did I see a single person get kicked out of the park all night, even though they're signs everywhere saying queue jumping can get you escorted out the park.

Marc Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 This comes up every year - I don't think a topic on it is needed and posts about particular trips can be posted elsewhere! Glitch and ThorpeTella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of comment where a suggestion of an alternative would also be good. I don't disagree with you per se, but to anyone who has never experienced these sorts of days, some of the behaviour you witness and experience can be described as disturbing to be honest. Days where large numbers traveller community are at parks are common, and preparations are made by the parks to help minimise disruption to everyone's day.
