A massive California theme park recently introduced a strict policy for this year’s Halloween event after a series of mishaps.
Violence appears to be a growing problem in theme parks across the country, with constant altercations involving large groups of guests and even alleged threats of gunfire reported by guests during the altercations. The latest accident was reported at Carwinds in Charlotte, North Carolina, which left several guests injured, lost consciousness and even hospitalized.
