This^^ I could not have said this better myself. This scares me more than anything a theme park could conjure up. And it happens every day.Jonquil said:

I just have to say I blame KD in large part for this if they had shown a little more spine last year this might not have been an issue.
The thing is KD stood their ground for the most part. When first wind of controversy popped up, KD didn't shut down the maze instantly. They said that it would not be back the next year, but I'm not sure I would consider that "caving".
I don't think I see how KD is to blame for this. The Miner's Revenge concern actually garnered a substantial amount of advocates for its removal, despite how foolish the whole thing was. KD didn't just waffle under the first sign of a complaint, they let the maze run for the year and simply didn't return it the next year. Cedar Fair was probably the ones who told them to remove it. Also, the maze itself didn't return this year due to ADA guidelines, not because of the mine controversy.
On the other hand, BGW removes all this after four complaints in a gazette article, which were from a different group for a different reason. The two things are hardly related.

I specifically said ISIL. The complaints were based on recent events, not anything AQ, TTP, HQN, Taliban, etc may have done in the past. I am perfectly aware of the past and ongoing brutality in the Middle East and South Asia.
I agree that there is a level of hypocrisy, but my point is that references to last years event do not address the issue raised by these "concerned citizens."
So something really interesting is happening on the park's facebook page. A few users have changed their profile pictures to the heads in question.
Not sure how to take this, but someone apparently thinks the park didn't "go far enough"...

That seems to be a satirical website, much like A Modest Proposal by Johnathan Swift.
All I saw was the header image and I'm dying. oh my god.
That was a beautiful post. So eloquent. So perfect. So amazing. I loved it.
I kinda like this idea. It seems like a few want to protest bgw decision in an interesting way. Wonder if others will join in this form of protest. As for me ya i just might.Pretzel Kaiser said:
