ICE Threat, Racial Slurs, and a Child Victim: Six Flags Exiles Grotesque Guest for a Centruy

Wait 5 sec.

A theme park trip took a dark and disturbing turn after one guest went on a racist tirade — and Knott’s Berry Farm is making sure she won’t be coming back. Ever.A woman who allegedly hurled vulgar and racist slurs at both a ride operator and fellow guests has been slapped with a 99-year ban from Knott’s Berry Farm — a move that comes after a first-hand witness detailed the shocking encounter in a now-viral Reddit post.Screaming, Slurs, and Threats to “Call ICE”The disturbing incident went down on July 12 at the Dragon Swing ride in Fiesta Village, where a guest says he and his family — including two 10-year-old children — had just boarded the attraction when the woman erupted in anger.Anybody know this lady? byu/NW_0UTLAW inKnottsBerryFarm“This happened on 7/12. I was with my niece and nephew (both 10) and my wife. We had just boarded the Dragon Swing in Fiesta Village when all of a sudden this lady starts screaming and cussing at the ride operator,” the witness wrote in the Reddit thread.But things escalated quickly when the woman allegedly targeted another family with vile and racist language — in front of children.“She then proceed to throw racial slurs at the family and proceeded to call the mom and the little girl whores and to go back to Mexico. They (parents) screamed back at her that they are not Mexican, they are Puerto Rican and the lady continued by saying she was going to call ICE on them and all of us on the ride including the ride operator.”“We didn’t get to ride and the mom and dad went after the bigot to confront her about being so bold and calling her daughter a whore (mind you she’s a child around 10 years old). The magat ran off with her LATINO husband and that’s when security came and took statements from the family, myself and other witnesses. There is no room for hate in this world and I hope that little girl can heal and move on from such a traumatic event.”According to the poster, park security responded quickly to collect statements. But in the days that followed, many online wondered: was anything actually going to be done about it?Park Security Confirms: She’s Banned for 99 YearsTurns out, Knott’s Berry Farm wasn’t about to let this slide.The original witness later shared an official follow-up email from Knott’s Director of Security and Safety, Michael Bogosian, confirming that action had been taken — in a big way.“Thank you for contacting us through our Voice of the Customer system. My name is Micheal Bogosian and I am the Director of Security and Safetly at Knott’s Berry Farm.We are a family friendly theme park and take matters such as this very seriously.We were made aware of this incident and officers from my department did in fact contact this person. Based on their behaviors they were issued a 99-year ban from all Six Flags properties. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at this email.”https://www.reddit.com/r/KnottsBerryFarm/comments/1m0w09d/in_response_to_the_racist_lady_on_712/It’s worth pointing out the apparent typo in Bogosian’s response — Knott’s Berry Farm is not affiliated with Six Flags, but rather owned by Cedar Fair. Regardless, the 99-year ban sends a very clear message: racism and harassment will not be tolerated on park grounds.Online Applause: “Glad They Took Out the Trash”Credit: Inside the MagicNews of the ban sparked applause across social media, where commenters praised Knott’s Berry Farm for enforcing real consequences.“I LOVE this! A lot of companies SAY that they have zero tolerance for racism, but Knott’s is out here really showing up!!”“Yes totally agree, it’s great to finally see companies being more proactive towards their policies.”“That’s awesome Knott’s Took care of that! 99 year ban! Haha the best punishment ever just wonder how they can actually enforce that.”“Hell yeah! Glad to hear they followed up on this. Gotta take out the trash.”While some raised valid questions about enforcement logistics — how do you really uphold a century-long ban? — most seemed satisfied that the park had at least taken a strong and visible stance against hate speech.No Room for Hate — Especially at a Family Theme ParkThis incident is a stark reminder of the hate some families still face in public spaces — even at parks that are supposed to be a joyful escape.But in this case, Knott’s Berry Farm is making it crystal clear: if you bring racism and violence through those gates, you won’t be coming back.As the original witness so poignantly said:“There is no room for hate in this world and I hope that little girl can heal and move on from such a traumatic event.”Knott’s made a bold move — and based on the reactions, the public is standing behind them.The post ICE Threat, Racial Slurs, and a Child Victim: Six Flags Exiles Grotesque Guest for a Centruy appeared first on Inside the Magic.
