Rumor I've Heard

Apparently this one isn't on Snopes so is it true?

In 1992, when EuroDisney first opened in France, the public beat some of the park characters because at the time most people had been against the park being built

People beat the characters all the time. Read Mouse Tales, there's enough horror stories in there to discourage anyone from joining the Zoo Crew. But knowing the French, I would guess that instead of physically beating them they just shouted unbearably witty insults and cigarette butts.

My first trip to France I was quite surprised that during my week there I didn't see one person wearing a beret, go figure :rolleyes: ...

Which makes me think, that these people, who were supposedly against the park in the first place, paid full admission price to get in, supporting the park with their money, just to beat up a character to show how much they were against the park? Hmm....

Aparently, you can go to six flags, pay full admission, and beat the daylights out of anyone in the park. Six Flags has fights braking out like crazy now a days.
