Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor to get their hooch on

by PegNews wire

The odds of getting hit by vomit on this ride just increased exponentially.

And now the grand experiment begins: On Tuesday, the TABC gave both Six Flags over Texas and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor permits to sell alcohol, starting this Saturday. Lest anybody think that they're gonna go crazy with the tequila shots or other ~~delicious~~ concoctions, both parks will only be serving beer. And, as has been mentioned before, you won't be able to swill your ale near the rides -- beer can only be consumed in gated areas near purchase points. The parks will also stop selling drinks two hours before they close to allow time for people to sober up.

I love how all the right-tilters and MADD crybabies out there have made a total stink equating having a beer at a theme park with perceived anti-family values and increase in drunk driving, which is nothing farther from the truth. I say this is another win for the good guys, for people who are responsible and like an adult beverage on occasion.

From what I understand, I dont think we're going to be seeing a whole bunch of Drunk Southern Dummys at either SFoT or Hurricane Harbor. The sale of beer is going to be so tightly controlled(max 3 drinks/5 locations in park/8pm cutoff) and sold ($6/glass) you wont have time to get "drunk", not to mention the area will more than likely become a no-tollerance zone for drunken behavior, the cops will probably haul the morons away if they get really stupid.

Hey report back on that. I only needed a tiny push not to endure the oppressive tar-baked heat, stench of rotting Lemon Ices and noise of Disney Full-Penetration Marketing.
