    And I'm a little shocked that you continue to take this thread off-topic. As mentioned in my previous post, a more generic discussion of signage and CC has been ongoing, and I requested that such discussions continue there.

    Again, keep this thread on the discussion of Hersheypark.

I never made any case about making people do their own research, my point has always been if you see a sign or are otherwise informed you should respect the rights and wishes of the property owner instead of adhering to legal technicality.

    Wow, I am shocked at this guy's comments. If this was the case then you shouldn't carry a gun almost anywhere as most places do not want you too anyway.

    If I was going to Hershey Park I would carry. If it's anything like Dorney Park it is definitely warranted!

    Hey, I grew up in Hershey.. Calling the superdooperlooper crappy is fighting words..

    I was recently at Disney World, and though I didn't carry, if it was on my person I don't see that there would have been a problem as all they looked at was bags. Haven't been back to Hersheypark in a few years, but at least last time around, I don't even recall a bag check.

    You're really shocked at his posts? I hear his point clearly. While I certainly recognize that I'm committing no crime by carrying into an establishment inviting patrons, even if they have a sign prohibiting it, I don't generally roll that way.

    If I was a business owner, I would make business decisions - ie. the impact of individuals carrying weapons on my profitability. I would certainly be offended if people ignored my articulated policies, and therefore I try my best not to engage in the offensive behavior myself. Do I always agree, no. Do I always comply - probably not. But for the most part, if I can't or won't comply with a business owner's request, I generally choose not to go there.

    Maybe my feelings stem from getting forcibly removed as a little guy from a convenience store for violationing of the no shirt, no shoes, no service policy.

    Went a few weeks or so back.

    They do have a prohibitive policy in relatively fine print.

    That said, I did not have any issues.

    The SuperDooperLooper is the shiznit. Never any lines!

    It was also the first looping roller coaster on the East Coast. Fuck I'm a nerd.
