Fellner was with a group of wooden roller-coaster enthusiasts that were allowed into the Park before it opened to the general public.
It caused the ride to be shut down for some time (I know I had to hear the complaints about that) until the reason was determined. I agree the the Koch Family should be allowed to sue this family for the cost of all the negative publicity.

What an idiot!
Acrimonious is the word used to describe some of the exchanges at a forum where film critic Michael Medved urged Jews to take a stand against Hollywood's degradation of our common life. The forum was held at the Jewish Community Center in West Orange, NJ, and this account is from the MetroWest Jewish News. "If Jews don't speak out against this, it lets others believe those films somehow reflect Jewish values, Medved said, noting that, for the first time in movie history, the production chiefs of all ten Hollywood studios are Jews." Jeffrey Lyons, Medved's cohost on Sneak Previews, and the other panelists strongly disagreed. Lyons said that "Jews don't speak in one voice and are, therefore, stronger than groups that do." Victor Gold, who is on the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, said that movie makers are in it for the buck, and there's nothing wrong with that. "Al Capone did not become Al Capone because he saw Scarface as a boy," said Gold. "I believe in the free market of ideas." Once again, there crops up this curious argument that, while good films and good books elevate people, bad films and bad books do not debase them. Medved, in our judgment, has the better part of the argument. Of course Jews do not speak with "one voice" on this or much of anything else. But the reality is that many Americans perceive a disproportionately prominent, even dominant, Jewish role in the production and defense of cultural pollution. Disagreeing with Medved, Rabbi Azriel Fellner of Livingston, NJ, said that the idea that Jews contaminate culture is anti-Semitic and, were Jews to speak out as Medved urges, "all [we would be] doing is ratifying the very thing we shouldn't be ratifying." But Medved is not saying that Jews should make a public issue of Jewish culpability in Hollywood's cultural crimes. He is saying that it is not a good thing for Jews and it is not a good thing for America that Jewish voices are, with few exceptions, conspicuously absent in current expressions of concern about Hollywood's part in the degradation of our common life.

Off topic, those people who do the Darwin Awards must be very busy. I'm glad they're around though. Those books make for good readin'!
Death by stupidity is one of the ways evolution refines our senses, skills and judgements.
