Jeff,
I have heard one *other* story about this same amusement place (most 
likely the same place you describe) and it appears that you are not 
the only ones to be so poorly treated!  Unfortunately, the other 
incident ended up costing a friend a lot of money.  Sorry to 
hear you were not treated right.  Word will spread, and one day these 
people will find that no one wants to do business with them.  I know 
*I* will turn my back should the opportunity ever arise.  Thanks for 
sharing.
