Grad Nite 2009

And it's that time of year again - when screaming High School Graduates take over The Happiest Place on Earth.
Grad Nite 2009 at Disneyland Park, along with the corresponding Blast-Off Party at Disney's California Adventure Park, will be held on 14, 21 and 28 May, as well as on 4, 10, 11 and 18 June.
Helping alleviate some of the pressure this year, Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia is also hosting their first (and, depending on the continued survival of that company, possibly only) Grad Nite, which is drawing many local High Schools (my former Alma Matter included).
Anyway, we all know you have your stories! Share them here! :D:

Best luck to those employed at Magic Mountain.
Here here! Poor souls.

Oh, So that has actually happened?
That's pretty funny.
heheh..
Disneyland's loss is Six Flag's gain.

Oh, trust me....any school that has been banned from Grad Nite is certainly no loss. There are always plenty to replace them. In fact, this year our first one (which was this last Thursday) had low attendance but all of the rest are sold out.

But, if Six Flags takes them knowing they're banned from Disney, then Six Flags has "gained" whatever they get.
Heh heh heh.

I think Six Flags MM has had lots of experience with a "tougher" crowd, not to say that DL doesn't get them, too. Had to laugh, the one time I accidentally discovered an undercover DL security person, he looked like one of those "tough guys" :p: He was monitoring a bunch of Jr. High School idiots on Pirates.

After being in CA for over 35 years, I'm surprised Six Flags MM has never held grad night before.

Ah. Sarcasm is so easily lost in type.
