the security guards, the harrassing, and the characters

Let us know how your day at the park was.

I will be the first to say you guys (creatures) did a great job this year.

While I am not a part of this supposed "boo-hoo" club, the only comment I made in one of these many topics focused on creature beatings is that it's not acceptable to grab a guest after it happens.

It's securities and the Gurnee police's job to handle the situation.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

No its not right to grab a guest after it happens, but sometimes thats just your reaction to the situation. You also have to remember these are people from 16 and up, not trained professionals. Not everything is going to be done the way others think it should be. but either way, the year is over, it was a great one.... thats all that matters :D

but even though it is their job, they can't afford to hire one security guard per character, so sometimes we have to find one... and if the person's going to just go and walk away to do it to another character, we have to get them and take them to a security guard!


For the creatures... it seems like not alot of people will stick up for all the characters. So you gotta stick up for each other. No one understands, no matter how much ya tell them. Gotta have Creature Crew love.


i agree totally, that's why by the end of the run everyone feels like family... we're there for eachother, and we're forced to spend inexplicable amounts of time together, it makes complete sense... haha, but really, we do look out for eachother, and if we didn't, i don't think the season would have went nearly as well!

One think that I don’t understand is why SFGAM does not post any signs or have something in the Fright Fest Flyer that states that You should not touch the characters for any reason and if you do you will be Ejected from the park without a refund. The only time I hear it is when they give you the Safety Message before entering the Hunted Houses.

Since it appears to be such a problem there should be signs posted all over Necropolis area.

More signs about it would make alot of sense.. but i think they figure it should be Common Sense not to touch people. How many people walk up to people at different jobs and just touch them or hit them? Not like I walk into Jewel and just hit a staff member for no reason lol. but who knows.

I agree with you on that they did a great job this year. I loved the freak show especially. But it is just self defense. And i would stick up for my self if someone grabed me. If they don't do anything they will have it done again and again.

HUH??? This spost makes no sense at all. What does tapping a character have to do with getting sprayed in the eyes? And with what? None of the characters carry anything that would spray anyone in the eyes...I am hoping that I am reading this post incorrectly.

Plus, I have only ever signed an autograph this year and I did it twice. Both times were on the clothes (pants) of a guest who requested it. I dont make a habit of signing autographs.

Spray something? Did I miss something here?
