Racial Discrimination by Security Staff Ruined Our Visit
October 14, 2024

I never thought I'd have to write a review like this, but after my experience at Six Flags New England on October 14,2024, I feel compelled to share what happened.

My two friends and I, all of Asian descent, arrived at the park around 4:30 PM, excited for a fun day ahead. However, our trip quickly turned sour when we encountered security staff member Joe Villar. Without any explanation or information, he assumed we were under 18 (we are all over 21) and demanded that we show our IDs. His tone was rude, and his attitude was condescending, as if he had already decided that we didn't belong there. It was clear that he had made assumptions based on our appearance.

When we asked why we needed to show our IDs, Joe threatened us and even tried to physically push us out of the park entrance. It was a shockingly aggressive response, and we felt deeply disrespected and unsafe. We left to retrieve our physical IDs from the car, thinking that might resolve the issue, but when we returned, Joe once again blocked us, stating that we were "already denied entry." There was no reasoning, no explanation—just outright refusal.

What made this experience even worse was the blatant racial discrimination. Joe Villar's attitude was a clear display of racial superiority, making us feel unwelcome simply because we were Asian. His arrogance and condescending behavior throughout made it painfully obvious that this was more than just a policy enforcement; it felt personal, as if he saw us as less deserving of respect and entry compared to others. This wasn't just a bad day at a theme park—this was discrimination, plain and simple.

To anyone considering going to Six Flags New England, I'd strongly advise reconsidering. A fun trip shouldn't be ruined by someone who uses their position of authority to act superior and discriminate against others. The fact that this park allows someone like Joe Villar to represent them is concerning. If you value respect and fairness, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for your next amusement park adventure.

Our three-hour drive was completely wasted, and I'm left with a terrible memory instead of the fun day we were expecting. Six Flags needs to take this seriously and investigate, or risk losing more customers who won't tolerate this kind of treatment. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
