https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/one-person-killed-several-injured-in-us-roller-coaster-incident-20261013-p6151f.html Georgia, USA: One person has died and several others were injured in an incident involving a roller coaster in Georgia, according to police. The tragedy occurred on Monday afternoon (US time) on the Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park, about 25 kilometres north-west of Atlanta, according to the Cobb County Police Department. Detectives with the department’s major crimes unit will investigate the incident. Officials did not confirm how the person died or what caused the others to be injured. Witnesses who spoke to NBC affiliate WXIA of Atlanta said they saw a man fall from the Goliath roller coaster, with at least two saying they saw him strike parts of the ride multiple times before hitting the ground. “He fell and hit the car three different times,” one said, NBC reported. Passengers are evacuated from the roller coaster after the incident in Georgia.

The park’s website says the ride drops guests almost 80 metres and reaches speeds of more than 135km/h. A Six Flags spokesperson said the park and local authorities responded immediately and that they were fully cooperating with investigations into the incident. “We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today,” the spokesperson said. Last month, Six Flags Magic Mountain, in southern California, announced that it was retiring its famous X2 roller coaster amid lawsuits alleging serious brain injury caused by the ride. Six Flags recently settled a wrongful-death lawsuit from the family of a 22-year-old man who died after riding the coaster in 2022. Three more lawsuits alleging traumatic brain injuries were filed last week. Last year, a 32-year-old man died after riding a high-speed roller coaster at the Universal Epic Universe theme park in Florida. He died from blunt impact injuries and his death was ruled accidental.

Positive press/fluff piece for Dreamworld whilst down the road is getting negative press.

Rides of this age are typically being closed down, or retracked, am I correct? (Yes there will be outliers).

@Theme Park Girl I saw your Facebook one and recognised it as your own style. This mob just like to bitch and moan, ignore them.

That looks like it'll tie in very well to the existing themeing.

Retheme of Motocoaster, possibly mine carts?

Said it when the sale happened - BGH Capital only in it to make as much money as they can.

Never been, forgot it existed

So the current money is on an electric tyre launch on the same boring layout?

So, has this request to remove the trademark effectively applied the "Streisand Effect" and confirmed this is the rides name?

Saw photos on Facebook - looks like concerns about the facade crumbling and falling?

😂

What was the old shampoo ad slogan? "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen".

Nor can you speak for how the reader interpreted your use of language. Myself, and clearly others, interpreted it as you loosely linking this incident to the Dreamworld tragedy. Remove the first six words of your initial post, and it becomes a different message. Upon reading those first few words, I began assuming you had copy-pasted a media article.

Between unload and load

Slowed to a crawl during peak times again. Good now

Speed seems back to normal today for me. Last night wouldn't load, even after 'peak hour' when it typically improves.

I wouldn't expect Dreamworld to buy it. They'd need boiler ticket qualified staff (several of) to operate it. Much higher outlay of wages than operating an amusement ride vehicle.

This should be at number 1 @DaptoFunlandGuy

https://morningsidenews.com.au/historic-kookaburra-queen-i-paddleboat-sells-for-550000-at-murarrie-auction/ "Mystery Gold Coast buyer" - pure conjecture on my part, but some comments on a Facebook thread said it was out of survey (registration I'm guessing). Popping it static into the Murrisippi might not require that.

Which would have been the simplest and highest duty cycle way to achieve it. Interesting decision to go the other way.

The mirror before the lift shows them holding the camera. Everything bar the disco room looks great.

Good to see he's learnt his lesson then.

"Dear Customer, we've serviced your car, and removed the stereo because we think it's better a better driving experience than what you've had before. Your Mechanic". Seems a really odd change, and as you said, appears unfinished. I'd expect some lighting to end up in there after people start complaining about sore necks etc from the unexpected jolts in the dark. The risk adverse bean counters will take over.
