As of last weekend, there really weren't any crowds / lines. My kids were able to repeatedly go on the roller coaster with basically no line (they had to wait for 1 car every other ride).

However i go almost nowhere unarmed so it is moot. We went Friday night and it was pleasant. My LEO sister was with us. i asked if she was armed and was told "No, but I know you are and are a better shot and I have my badge. Team effort".
By "location" I meant Galveston in general, not the specific location of the park. I wouldn't go anywhere in Galveston unarmed.

I went on Saturday with my 2 kids and a friend and her son. We all had a great time. Although we did run into one interesting fellow who was having a pretty violent disagreement with himself / the invisible guy next to him. That was about 1/2 mile away when we stopped at a Subway on the way home. He didn't interact with us, so no issues other than me switching to condition red for a few seconds.

They prohibit bringing in alcoholic beverages. I think that's the only sign of any sort. They have a few non-commissioned security people who can barely make eye contact with the crowd of people coming in.

Thanks.

Given the location, I don't think I would feel comfortable being there with my kids and no gun. You saved me the potential disappointment of driving all the way there and then turning around and leaving.

Pleasure Pier Galveston

I'm thinking about checking it out this weekend.

Does anyone know whether this attraction is properly posted with valid / enforcable 30-06 notification signs? It's owned by the same folks that own Kemah, so I'm guessing it should be fine, but I wanted to check here first.
