Amusement Park Issues Warning to Sex Offenders

On the heels of a $1.4 million lawsuit after a ride operator molested three girls while strapping them into a boat ride, Six Flags has published a new policy against admitting sex offenders into all 30 of its U.S. parks. The wording of the policy, which can be found on the back of the park's season passes, states that Six Flags has the right to refuse admission or revoke the season pass of anyone who has been convicted of a sex crime.

While the new policy has generated a fair amount of controversy from sex offenders, parents and the amusement park industry alike, many believe that the policy is without substance. Six Flags has said that it does not plan to run background checks on visitors entering the park, but anyone acting inappropriately could be subjected to a background check and asked to leave the park.

Without background checks for guests entering the park, the Six Flags sex offender policy is an extension of the right to throw out anyone caught misbehaving that amusement parks have long reserved. The Six Flags chain of parks is, however, the first in the United States to specifically target sex offenders for denied entry or removal from its facilities.
