don't know the details, but this is just breaking in Texas. I live in Dallas and this popped up on my facebook. My youngest(who is 11) and I just rode this over Christmas break last December. Unbelievable! So sad.

There are two things I don’t do at “amusement parks”....and roller coasters are both of ‘em.

That thing is huge. I’m afraid I’d have to pass on that one.

I am hearing via twitter it was a woman and she fell, but the park is not confirming anything other then a woman has died. I will never ride a rollercoaster again.

I prefer not to participate in physics experiments over which I have little or no control.

Six Flags has long had a very bad reputation for safety and maintanance.I refuse to patronize them.

Since I don’t have wings that sounds way too high.

There’s a roller coaster at Magic Mountain outside LA that even the Navy pilots get sick on. I think it’s called the Ninja but not sure. It has several corkscrews down near the ground before it whips back up. Just watching make me sick.

How many milli-seconds after this story broke did liberals blame it on racism?

If you ever get a chance, do some eorobatics. Same rush but feels much more natural. A friend of mine used to own a Bellanca Sitabria and we had a blast flying it!

Not any more, they redid the track as metal. Still wooden structure though.
