How many deaths in theme parks

[Slick]

I was guessing that it would be something like that. But seriously, information!!!! Anything about STE that has relevence to what we're talking about would be good.

Well, Gazza's picture is about as accurate as you can make it in RCT. Yes, the car overshot, and fell off the tower. However, it didn't explode, it just slide down the tracks. One guy (Larry Perkins, he's in Gazza's screenshot) died, and another lady (Debbie Jane, also in the screenshot) was seriously injured. Thankfully she didn't really like Larry, so she was still happy, but was still quite outspoken about the whole thing. But yeah, the car slid down the tower, which put pressure on the track where it wasn't designed to handle it (which was made worse by the other side which was operating. If someone ever tells you that it doesn't run two sides, then that's why), and it collapsed. As Gazza said, it fell on the launch track, and got stuck to the magnets. Thankfully it was towards the end of the season, so they had a new tower up in a couple of months.

You know how the magnets that are used to launch STE and TOT,well would the TOT magnets affect Giant Drop in any way. My 50th Post

Obviously they don't seeing as how DW has put the two rides in.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone remembers or has information on a carnival accident that happened a few years ago. I heard about it on the news,I *think* it was in Adelaide and it was a ride like the Wipeout, but a travelling version.. So probably just a Topspin. I think the gondola just fell onto the ground or something like that. Pretty wild.. :eek:

[Gazza]

Yeah, It was the spin dragon, it hasnt been seen since.

Nobody died did they?

[Gazza]

No, but many went to hospital.
