    The Ride Of Steel story hits a bit close to home. There was someone who did not have legs that wanted to go on The Big One at the amusement park my dad was a manager at. The only difference is my dad explained that he would have been thrown out of the ride due to being amputated from the waist down, making the lap bars ineffective. The man was more than happy with this explanation and dad put him on a ride with overhead restraints for as long as he wanted to go on it!

      The Ride of Steel story is not quite accurate. The accident actually happened at Six Flags New England. After the accident the ride was retrofitted with new T bar restraints painted purple and re opened the next season as Bizarro. It remained open as Bizarro until the end of the 2015 season. In 2016 it was repainted using the original color scheme and opened as Superman the Ride. It currently is open and remains one of the top rated steel coasters in the world, ranking 4th in the 2021 Golden Ticket Awards for top 50 steel coasters

      @@altarush there really isn't anyway to make them safe on most rides. However they do have such seats on certain rides. It really depends on how the dynamics of the ride relate to the specific disability. One ride may accommodate a certain disability, while another ride may not a vice versa. It is really a ride by ride decision. Most parks have a pass that can be obtained, and upon obtaining that pass, they will explain the different requirements and alert as to which rides are compatible with your specific disability and which are not. For example there are some rides which cannot accommodate plastic or metal casts and braces, meanwhile many others can.

      @@jameshorath5624 actually, it _is_ accurate. I grew up going to that very park and my sister was working there the day it happened. The man didn't fall out on a downhill descent, but rather one of the 2 curves of the coaster on which the cars are nearly entirely perpendicular to the ground. The restraint system used has always featured a lap belt along with a T-bar restraint that place pressure on the thighs of the rider. The idea being that the rider will brace themselves with their feet on the car floor and the bar on their thighs. You may be talking about a similar incident or coaster but I can assure you the accident mentioned here occurred at Dairen Lake in Darien, NY.
      The park was originally owned by Six Flags and the coaster was called "Superman- Ride of Steel". Then, around the recession, Six Flags sold the park to Paramount and thus lost their licensing for the Superman character (as well as the Looney Tunes whose names and costumed characters once graced the "kiddie" area for small children who could not ride most of the standard rides), and they subsequently dropped that part of the name, leaving the coaster simply called "Ride of Steel", although those of us who grew up going there still referred to it as the "Superman".
      Six Flags reacquired the park several years ago and it's once again called "Six Flags Darien Lake" instead of "Darien Lake Theme Park", but I'm unsure if the "Ride of Steel" was re-christened "Superman" or not, as I've not been in a few years.

    This reminds me of my childhood. My mom had six kids, so we couldn't afford to go to things like amusement parks, the movies, eating out, really anything. So instead of taking us to the amusement park, she would make me go on websites and look at horrible injuries of roller coasters gone wrong. People having limbs amputated, people dying, people weeping about their lost loved ones, anytime I wanted to do something fun she would fear monger me. I've never been on a roller coaster, and I am terrified of them. But seriously, what kind of mother shows her 8-year-old daughter that kind of graphic content?

    One of the scariest but most fun coasters I have been on is the Manta at Sea World Orlando. You get in the coaster seated then the whole thing tilts forward so you're facing the ground. When we got in and it tilted forward I just kept yelling "this is stupid, this is stupid. Why are we doing this?" When we got back I was just laughing uncontrollably saying it was the best thing ever. What's cool about it is when you hit on if the loops sending you upside down, you're actually sitting normally right side up. There are some cool coasters at Sea World Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa.

    For the vet that lost his life on the ride, my condolences and I agree that park staff should have told him that it was unsafe, but in this day and age, unfortunately, what would be a case of trying to keep a guy safe could turn into a lawsuit of discrimination, it is a very fine line sadly, also he refused the safety brochure which stated that the rider needs two functioning legs to be able to ride due to the restraints that keep you in place, I understand sometimes its tedious to read but as we have been shown it can save your life.

    When my daughter was younger we went on a ride at Thorpe Park, UK. She was next to me on the magic carpet ride but she was very slender in size and although I was not big at all the difference in size meant the restraint that covered both of us was not as secure on her as on myself. When the ride began to gain speed she began to slip down on the seat and terrified, could not prevent herself from sliding. It was only my arm that ended up keeping her in the seat until the end of the ride. We have not been on the ride since although it still runs to this day.

    My mom and I had a similar experience with the Superman ride. In a town 30 minutes away from our home town there is a theme park. The ride we were on was called the firecracker (now renamed to the shoot off). The ride usually lifted us a few feet off the ground before shooting you up at high speed and then releasing you back down, similar to the Superman. However, as the ride lifted before the shoot off, I noticed my seat wasn’t locked, and my seat locked as soon as we took off, I got lucky, but I was terrified. As we exited the ride, I came to find out that it happened to my mom too. However, her seat did not lock at all, and she almost flew out. Terrifying experience for the both of us. The ride should have been shut down. But it’s not. The ride has at least one broken seat on all four sides and the people don’t even check if our seats are locked. It was horrifying.

It's clear the safety of this ride was pretty good but the safety precautions were not being observed. This ride us pretty mild compared to the other rides at the park, so I can see how it lapsed.

We got there early in the morning and decided to go on the thunder river rapids first since it was closest to the entrance. The people who sadly died were only 2 families behind us in line, so my family and I had no idea that the tragedy had even happened until we left dreamworld at the end of the day after having a fun day on rides and seen a team of police cars and ambulances. We thought nothing of it and went back to out hotel. It was only then that we heard it on the News and we all froze in shock, I just remember thinking how lucky we were and how horrible I felt for the family.

    SFOT is my home park and this case always upsets me due to the “eye witness accounts,” which in my opinion was the two women wanting their 2 mins on tv. Anyone who is very familiar with that ride knows that the restraints don’t click; as they are hydraulic operated. There was no dialogue between the woman saying that her restraint didn’t go down all the way, as she insisted on riding even though her body dimensions exceeded the safety specifications for that train. The ride operator in a move that is against the parks ride operator policy, “secured” the lap bar on her stomach rather than the legs as the trains were intended. When gravity took effect at the first turn, her body fat shifted and she flew out of the train which was essentially as if she wasn’t wearing one at all. Her fall ended extremely extremely gruesomely which involved one of the steel, support beams. Tragic situation and fateful decisions made by both her and the ride operator.

    New Texas Giant didn’t have a “clicking” lap bar, and the witnesses who said they didn’t hear a click, that’s why. The theory is that a portion of her stomach was under the lapbar, and as the coaster hit airtime, the portion of her stomach under the lapbar slid out, creating enough of a gap where she basically ejected out of the car.

    At Adventure Land in Iowa, the Raging River was closed after a raft was flipped and killed a little boy. The ride also killed a worker a few years earlier during mantainces.

    At a six flags near my house, there was another Superman ride drop tower. However, it was notorious for breaking. One of the seats would always get stuck at the very top, causing people to need to be rescued. Recently, it got demolished.

    In Australia's Luna Park, there was an accident involving the ride Ghost Train which was a popular ride for nearly 50 years before the accident. In 1979 the ride spontaneously got engulfed in flames, and seeing as it was a wooden coaster the entire ride got destroyed claiming 7 lives, 6 children and 1 adult. The ride never got reopened. Amazingly the park didnt get sued, while the people supervising the park blamed the accident on faulty wiring some people started to believe it was caused by "Arson from the ride operator"

    I've been on the "Eagle" at SixFlags or whatever it's called. It goes about 200 feet high and right before it goes down a eagle calls out as it zooms down. And if you tell them it's your first time... They will put your seat on a mode where your butt will fly of the seat, though your still latched in, which freaks out people.

    In Elysburg, PA at Knoebel’s Amusement Resort, a roller coaster by the name of Impulse had recently opened where bumper boats and a naval battle attraction had once been, and during one of the rides, the ride suddenly stopped inverted! Yikes! Emergency crews had to be called in to rescue the inverted and stranded riders. The ride closed for investigation, and from what I can figure out, the most likely cause of the incident was a malfunction in the emergency shutdown system. Those passengers were lucky their train didn’t fall to the ground, or their families would be at the amusement resort’s doorstep with lawsuits galore.

It could reach speeds of up to 70 miles an hour and was reportedly taller than Niagara falls

    Recently, a adventure park I went to reopened a ride called the “Raging River” which I have been on. This occurred only a week after I went there, the ride was closed when I was there and I was disappointed. On the first day this ride reopened after COVID, a 11 year old boy named Michael Jaramillo on June 8th, 2021 was on the ride when it suddenly flipped over. Everyone watched helplessly in horror as the adventure park in Altoona Iowa titled Adventureland didn’t allow any knifes or other sharp objects into the park so no one could help. The boys dad was yelling “help, help my child is drowning.” Unfortunately, Micheal died. 'I will never get a chance to see him grow up':Parents recount Raging River accident that killed 11-year-old son. The ride is closed and park officials said they are working with state and local authorities to investigate the cause of the accident.

    I rode the New Texas Giant just after it had been RMC re-tracked and - Despite the views of many others in the coaster club I've been a member of for 20+ years - I enjoyed it a lot. Certainly didn't feel unsafe on it at any point, though the story is correct; _If you can only get your restraint down one click; Tell an operator immediately, and ask to move to a „Big Boy“ seat._ 👍
    I also live not far from Vortex, and it's definitely a great experience! I understand though that it's had its speed turned down a little to reduce structural stresses - Not for any safety concerns (The ride is as safe as any other which complies with UK ADIPS testing) but just to extend its operational longevity. Anybody who knows Merlin (The owners of Thorpe Park) will know that they like to get a _very_ good return on their investments! 😉
