This was due to a couple of previous incident that happened very recently. I’m not sure if it was shared in here, but there was a very big fight at Aquatica a little bit ago, and it required an early park closure due to the scale of the park caused by a large group of rowdy teenagers. Then FunSpot America put in a chaperone policy after the same group announced the takeover of the Orlando location. That chaperone policy indicated you had to be 21 or older to attend by yourself, if you’re under 21 you had to have someone 21 or older to attend with you. After that went policy went up, they changed their “event” to Busch Gardens Tampa, and what happened at Busch Gardens Tampa, ended up being another parkwide fight. So I guess that is likely because of the same group trying to do something here at Seaworld Orlando.

I think the Tampa incident also had someone getting a gun in the park, by someone passing it through the fenced off area on property and fired it off in the Cheetah Chase queue.

I can’t find the details where it was posted but way too many commenters were explaining how to sneak in a gun at BGT and the post got deleted.

I find it interesting that a guest blamed BGT for not doing anything about it despite the posts being out there to organize. While I agree they should be more hypervigilant, that's on the local PD IMO to monitor things like that. It will be interesting to see who shows up more in these next two planned events.

Side note, those comments to the articles on ITM are terrible.

I try to avoid ITM as much as I can, but its odd all the stuff I saw on Social Media about these takeover incidents and when I went to Google News to look for articles to read they and Orlando Theme Park Zone, want to report about what happened.

Yea, it's odd that you can find all this articles on it after the fact but when you try to look more into these violent takeover groups, no one is reporting anything on them.

I feel like good investigative journalism is dead sometimes.

Like there's some privacy stuff that I believe in, but the fact that there's a tutorial on IG/TT of how to sneak a weapon into a public place like that, there needs to be a quicker legal way for police to be able to find out how posted it and take them in. I don't know what you would charge them with. The fact, additionally, that the information is still allowed to be out there is mind baffling too.
 
Dare I say some of these guest got ambassador tickets. No longer does the intercom say "enjoy your stay" it says "enjoy your day." I just feel BGT created this climate, and now it's destroying a place many grew up in.
 
I updated the thread title to prevent any possible misplaced pitchfork and torch action.

If this starts to become a "anytime we're busy, the sign goes up" deal though, I'm all for revisiting the pitchfork potential.
Question: is this something that could be used when they are at or near capacity only to slow potential of overcrowding?
