Well, it was dark, so if it wasn't properly lighted, and I'm sure everyone was commenting on which way they came from on turnarounds, I'm sure getting lost wasn't that hard.

I wonder if they could have just plowed through the 9' tall maze to find their way out. :confused:

are you kidding? how hard is it to walk in one direction until you come out?

Walk in one direction? Apparently you lack the understanding of how a maze works, as they're designed to move people in multiple directions, you dufus.

They were only 25 feet from the exit
LOL

Maze manager Rich Potter offered the lost family who called for help free tickets to come back and try again. They didn't answer the offer, Potter said. "They were a little timid about it."
Even funnier!!

Apparently you've never walked straight through a corn field.

They are not smart enough to be parents, Child Protective Services should take that 3 week old baby from them immediately and they should be sterilized.

Heard you were fired again. It's too bad, your parents never visited the maze before you were born.

Incorrect. You always hold the left (or right) wall. This means you'll always turn around in a dead end, as stated.

this. As long as you follow the wall, you'll come to the exit. Might have to walk the entire maze though.

a 3 week old. pretty sure you aren't supposed to do that...

Yeah... mommy was probably still jacked up on post natal hormones and started panicking when daddy forgot how to read a frigging map and got lost. Then the 5 year old probably started crying, and daddy swallowed his pride and called 911 just to get the hell out of there.

What is it with people in this thread saying that you shouldn't take an infant into a maze?

The issue is the parents were morons not that the child was too young.

Me and the wife did a hell of a lot more with our first born than that and never had any probs.

Babies can explode in a cry explosion at any given time without warning. You should be within 5 minutes of the car so you can go home should such an incident happen. Not to mention diaper changes, breast feeding etc... do that stuff at home, not in public!

I've found that as long as you keep the boobies within a safe distance all is well.

[actually this seems a good rule whether you have kids or not ;)]
