Los Angeles County resident Charles Winters filed a civil complaint against the Valencia, Calif., park on July 2, according to a Los Angeles Superior Court filing obtained by PEOPLE. During his employment, from November 2022 until July 2025, Winters, who is African American, claims he was subjected to “repeated and consistent discrimination and/or harassment” based on his “race, ethnicity and/or national origin.”
As part of his duties as a food service team member, Winters alleges he was often tasked with cleaning during downtime. He claims it often required him and his African American coworkers to “be on their hands and knees” to clean the floor, refrigerators and other surfaces. However, he claims his White counterparts “were given the less strenuous job of waiting at the cash register for any customers that came.”
Winters claims that during his tenure, the park displayed a “distinct preference for non-African American employees,” citing the alleged hiring and quick firing of 20 to 30 African American employees over the course of three years. He says non-African American employees did not see the same high turnover rate.

On June 21, 2025, Winters says he stayed about an hour after the park closed and left the property through the employee wardrobe department. As he was exiting, he claims a White security guard asked him a “deluge of questions” about his reasoning for being at the park, even though Winters says he was wearing an employee badge around his neck. He says “it was clear” the security guard “was subjecting him to such offensive scrutiny just because he was African American.”

Winters is requesting a trial by jury and is seeking damages in the amount of at least $25 million including $5 million for general damages, $5 million for special damages, $5 million for actual, consequential and incidental damages, $5 million for past and/or future economic damages and $5 million for past and/or future physical injuries, emotional distress, etc.
