Our most recent visit to Six Flags Over Texas, which was meant to cover the Oktoberfest Food Festival, Kids Boo Fest and additional Fright Fest activities, was cut short when we were denied access due to our camera. We've brought this camera into the park several times, including just two nights before, to cover the park as it doesn't violate any posted rules. Nobody from Six Flags was equipped to provide us with documentation regarding what their actual camera policy is.
