As the videos and images of the brawl gathered immense traction on the internet, they went viral attracting various types of comments from the netizens online.

However, to avoid such incidents in the future, Six Flags explained that every visitor has to follow the strict guidelines set by the park.

Failure to follow the guidelines will result in a heavy penalty.

As reported by Fox8Live, Six Flags Over Georgia sent WANF the following statement,

Our goal is to provide safe, fun entertainment. We employ state of the art security systems and metal detection, maintain a robust and vigilant Public Safety Department, and have strong support from Cobb County Police who are present both inside and outside the park. Every guest is expected to follow our strict code of conduct and anyone unwilling to follow that code of conduct is unwelcome.

It is incredibly disappointing that our community is disrupted at public events throughout the region by groups of underaged youth. Just like other venues in the area, we are committed to keeping this type of trouble outside our park and off our property. There was police activity involving gunshots; we want to confirm there was no shooting at our property or parking lot. This took place on South Service Road that is not owned or operated by Six Flags. However, we join our community and the Atlanta region in our commitment to safety and security. We won’t put up with that type of activity here.”

They said in the statement.
