Busch Gardens Williamsburg Social Media

So, I guess the question is which is more horrifying:
1. That people are saying these incredibly ignorant and bigoted things, or
2. That BGW hasn't deleted the entire incredibly offensive discussion.

Yes, it really went downhill once Luke posted Pusheen.

It's hard to take most of them seriously

 

[Luke]

Looks like they took it down.

 

[Nicole]

Good

 

[Luke]

Indeed

 

[TrevorBondi]

Read first three lines, closed laptop and walked away. That's enough internet for one day!

 

[Luke]

Well be that as it may.

 

[Luke]

Wow...

Why would Busch Gardens even need interns

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I'm pretty sure interns in Culinary, Entertainment, Design and Engineering, etc. are not uncommon. In fact, I have actually seen a couple of them.

But I am pretty sure interns don't study under ride ops at Griffon.

 

[bgbackdoor]

interns are in every dept, but they deff arnet interns, deff not ones on the clock

Was the kid even measured or not? There's a difference between saying the kid is too short and actually physically measuring them.

 

[Nicole]

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[Peej1212]

I think i missed something because it went right to measuring kids lol. Damn comp keeps messing up.

 

[Luke]

Yay Busch Gardens wrote back.

Wow. I don't think I have ever seen such a well-written response from the park's Facebook page. I think they should make more of an attempt to answer questions. It makes the park look like they actually care, which most of them probably do. Keep in mind; most people posting on the parks Facebook page think that they are actually talking to the "managers" or even "owners" of the park themselves. They don't realize they are only talking to somebody from marketing that has little to no liberty to answer them.

I'm sure they report any serious issues back to a level of management, though. This situation makes the park look bad and not very well run, which could potentially have a negative impact on attendance.

I'm glad someone took time to write back. It shows a level of maturity we haven't seen from the park in awhile.

+1 for BGW.

 

[Peej1212]

I agree with the posts above. I feel this was very well written and very professional. It is nice to see that they took the time and effort to get to the bottom of things instead of ignoring it like most people thing they would.

 

[Imaginique]

It says the Facebook post was removed...what happened?

 

[Nicole]

My guess is that the park took down the picture and complaint, after they responded.
