A group of men tried to sneak in, standing near the entrance of the attraction, and one of the members of the queue made a mistake and told them that they had to respect their turn and stay in line.
It was then that, after a heated exchange of words -in which the assailants insulted the man who had made their behavior ugly, calling him, among other things, “faggot”-, they began to hit those who were in the queue, yelling at them, insulting them and taunting those who were keeping the line.
“Rabble”
The person who posted the video on social media, who claims that his sister shared it, has highlighted the lack of security in the park. “You spend the money to have a good time and you find this mob without protection,” she commented, along with the images in which you can see the entire sequence of events.
