Six Flags Investigates Risky Roller Coaster Ride Video
11 Nov
Summary
- Vlogger filmed with loose restraints on aged wooden coaster.
- Six Flags confirms review of video shot before fatal incident.
- Park chain closed multiple coasters after Georgia death.
A recent video featuring a social media personality riding the Grizzly roller coaster at Kings Dominion with seemingly loose restraints has prompted an investigation by Six Flags. The influencer, known for his CoasterDash YouTube channel, shared footage where his and his companion's restraint bars appeared significantly open.
Six Flags confirmed they are aware of the video, believed to have been filmed in August 2026, and are conducting a thorough review, emphasizing guest safety. This incident follows a fatal accident at Six Flags Over Georgia in October 2026, where a guest died after falling from the Goliath roller coaster.
In the wake of the Georgia incident, Six Flags had closed ten hypercoaster models across its international parks as a precautionary measure. These included popular rides at locations like Kings Island, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Canada's Wonderland. Most of these coasters have since reopened.
Additionally, the Six Flags Over Georgia incident occurred amid ongoing lawsuits related to over 100 alleged brain injuries at Six Flags Magic Mountain's X2 roller coaster, which is set to close after 22 years. The park cited guest confidence as a reason for the closure.
