Noah Jackson, 12, raced ahead of his cousin to get a better place in line for Six Flags Magic Mountains Sierra Falls water attraction last summer. He wanted to ride solo, like everyone else.
But according to a lawsuit, when it was Noahs turn, the park attendant tapped Noahs cousin, who was farther back, and made the youngsters squeeze onto a raft made for one.
"They did not even give us a choice," said the cousin, Devonne Brown, now 16, of Palmdale. "They told us to get on the raft [together] or go away." Devonne contends that he and Noah were treated differently "because of our skin color." They are black.
