Six Flags Roller Coaster Malfunctions, Raises Safety Concerns
20 Oct
Summary
- A metal bracket detached from a roller coaster car at Cedar Point.
- A recent death occurred on the Goliath ride at Six Flags Over Georgia.
- Six Flags Magic Mountain faces lawsuits over ride injuries and deaths.
A roller coaster at Cedar Point experienced a malfunction recently when a metal bracket detached from a car on the Millennium Force ride, falling into a guest area. The ride was briefly shut down for inspections but has since resumed operations.
This event follows a series of safety concerns for the parent company. Last week, a guest tragically died after falling from the Goliath ride at Six Flags Over Georgia. Additionally, Six Flags Magic Mountain is currently involved in litigation, facing a lawsuit from a patron alleging injury on the CraZanity attraction.
Further legal issues for Magic Mountain include a settled wrongful death lawsuit concerning an incident on the X2 ride a few years prior. The park maintains that guest and team member safety is its highest priority, with all necessary checks completed after the Millennium Force incident.
