That is a correct interpretation if the law. Watching how there was no C-collar or backboard administered or available and then how the victim was put on the gurney it's easy to understand why she was distraught.

^ Fortunately, Ohio has a good Samaritan Law protecting those willing/ trying to help in an emergency situation. https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2305.23

Given your examples of what you believe to be "privacy", why are your attacks only on the the lady? The Cedar Point body cam video shows the same details. That being said, the real concern that is being lost on many is the safety of park guests.

She posted a Cedar Point incident report online. No privacy violated.

We wear seatbelts in cars not because it will guarantee an accident will not be fatal, we wear them because the percentages move drastically in our favor that an accident will not result in a fatality. No vaccine is 100% effective and every vaccine effects people in different ways. My infant kids did get sick (liquid from places you don't want liquid to come from, crankiness, sniffles, temperature etc.) after their MMR shots. The amount of misinformation on both the virus & vaccination is simply amazing. Get the vaccine folks! -Brown- whose vaccinated family: works in hospitals, grocery stores and live in Florida & have been lucky enough to not be negatively impacted by covid.

She didn't violate any patient privacy and she definitely stepped aside, the adjoining queue line to be exact, when the request for a C-Collar was made. Her concern and subsequent frustration was obvious as who has been said to be head of security was more concerned of those in the area than concentrating on the victim. Even more concerning is the lack of a C-collar in the bag, which is assumed to come from Cedar Shores. A C-collar is as basic of a first responder device as there is. After watching the bodycam I can see why there is concern of a cover-up which is why the incident report was posted from the start. Even the off-duty Lorain officer was concerned that the part that hit the victim could not be found after taking the time to search for it. Bob, as was seen from the name on his shirt and identified as CP maintenance, was not looking for the part. Ironically, the only person that is not on the handful of YouTube videos is the nurse who has been accused of violating patient privacy.

After watching the video of a first responder: - the incident is serious - the victim is in pain/ screaming - responder in CP maroon polo directed person with bodycam, later appears to be CP security, to go back to Shores. Same responder adamantly did not want lady in white shirt around when taking victim out on gurney. - lady in white shirt adamantly wanted a C-spine collar. Person with bodycam could not find one. - Deputy from Lorain in green shirt that saw the object hit her could not find the object.

There is an understood risk when operating a car. There should never be an understood risk when it comes to any amusement ride.

I strongly disagree, but to each their own. I totally respect your opinion. She stepped up, and could have (hopefully) saved a life. What she did in the aftermath is overlooking what she did. That being said, I do not envision TTD making a comeback.

Absolutely not as there is nothing to hide. No names given, just the facts. A horrendous accident that was not my daughter's fault in the least bit. That is where social media would try to destroy her as accidents like this are rare- unless accompanied by a mistake on the victim's part. The report given squashes such rumors.

10 minutes of fame is pretty harsh. Given the same situation, If someone stepped up to help my daughter that could potentially save her life, I would be indebted to her for life.

Her intent may have been to eliminate rumors. I'm not sure if either way would be a good decision.

^^ Her screaming in pain is actually a good thing as it shows somewhat normal brain activity. And please understand I am in NO WAY toning down the seriousness of the accident, just trying to point some things out and looking for any positive news.

@Kenban I cannot put into words how terrible this is- for everyone involved. I did not see the report you mentioned, but even thinking about it turns the stomach. I can only hope it is not as serious as it sounds, but am fearful it is exactly as it sounds. At this point, I do not see many differences between TTD and SoB. I also wonder if other Intamins with similar cars & breaking systems will also be shut down for thorough inspection.

There are so many possibilities on what happened. Was it a train failure? Track failure? Brake failure? Was it a lost personal item that became lodged in a brake fin and jammed in the bottom of the train? Any accident is terrible. Let's just hope that the injured will be ok moving forward. I do have full confidence that CP/ CF will investigate this thoroughly and appropriate corrective actions taken.

It's all about weather & height. Good, warm weather now vs. questionable cool/ cold & windy weather in the offseason. It should be at least 50 degrees when painting- and that is for normal household paint (the paint used on outdoor fixtures like this may need different temperature requirements). Combine that with winds a couple hundred feet the ground can make for some sketchy work (no way I would ever want to even try it & kudos to those that do!).

The issues with BB have been going on for some time now. I makes me wonder if there is a reason why repairs have not been done. EV- 1972 to 1983 SEV- 1984 to 1991 (20 years with same layout) PT- 1992 to 2002 SDatHC- 2003 to 2009 BBoBH- 2010- ? (30 years with same layout) When KI opened in 1972, EV was the most expensive attraction for the park at $1.5 million.

I have heard about this a few times and have always questioned the validity of it. I don't understand why a roller coaster manufacturer would agree to, what is basically a non-compete, not add their product to another park? If there were such a deal, the last B & M at BGW was in 2007, so is the deal forever?? The proximity of Sea World in TX to SFT also comes into question. The logistics of such a deal is mind boggling.

These include a new themed area at Kings Dominion in Virginia, the reopening of two newly refurbished resort properties at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, and the 50th anniversary celebration at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. In addition, Cedar Fair plans to introduce several new and upgraded dining venues and to expand its popular festival and event calendars to include something for everyone in the family throughout the year. “We’re in the business of making people happy, and we are actively investing in our parks to help us deliver the type of fun, immersive experiences that our guests crave and our associates love to provide,” said Cedar Fair President and CEO Richard A. Zimmerman. “Based on positive recent trends and our renewed confidence in the recovery of the business, we now plan to invest between $175-$200 million for the 2022 season to improve the guest experience at our parks. These investments include ongoing renovations at the Castaway Bay and Sawmill Creek resort properties at Cedar Point, as well as the addition of new rides, attractions and guest amenities across our parks in the U.S. and Canada.” Zimmerman said consumer research continues to reinforce the significance of food and beverage (F&B) and the high-quality menu options Cedar Fair parks offer as essential components of delivering a memorable park experience. As such, the company is investing aggressively for the 2022 season as part of the next phase of significant development in its F&B lineup. Under this plan, Cedar Fair is upgrading and expanding F&B facilities across its portfolio, with new chef-inspired restaurants opening at several parks. The focus is on providing signature menu and beverage items that tap into consumers’ interest for unique flavors and experiences they can’t find anywhere else. In 2021, Cedar Fair has added approximately 20 chefs to its park teams to accommodate the continued growth in its culinary program. In addition, these capital investments will improve the capabilities, technologies and efficiencies of the parks’ food preparation and delivery systems. Among the highlights of Cedar Fair's capital program for the 2022 operating season: Kings Dominion is renaming and upgrading the Safari Village area of the park and introducing a new roller coaster in 2022. The new area, Jungle X-Pedition, is set to an exotic archeological dig site and research facility, where explorers can visit the base camp for a bite to eat at a new signature restaurant and shop at an immersive retail location. Around the corner, guests can climb aboard Tumbili, a thrilling roller coaster that suspends riders on either side of the track as the cars flip continuously throughout the ride. Kings Island will celebrate 50 years of fun, memories and traditions. Guests will join the park in commemorating the landmark anniversary with limited time events, enhanced food offerings and all-new live entertainment – each telling the stories of Kings Island’s first 50 years and sure to delight all ages and create lasting memories. The park will announce more anniversary details in the coming months. Cedar Point’s full lineup of entertainment returns in 2022 with the popular Frontier Festival at the start of the season, Cedar Point Nights and the Celebrate Spectacular Parade during the heat of the summer and HalloWeekends in the fall. In addition, the park’s Frontier Town will introduce a new chef-inspired signature restaurant that is sure to delight guests throughout the season. On the resort front, the re-imagined Castaway Bay Indoor Waterpark hotel will welcome back families with all-new guest rooms, enhanced amenities, kid-friendly activities and a new take on dining, all intertwined with a whimsical theme that connects sea, land and air. Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts, located just a short drive from Cedar Point, will be reintroduced as a natural escape ideal for a retreat from the ordinary. The resort will showcase a full renovation of guest rooms, eclectic dining options, golf course upgrades, outdoor amenities and an enhanced convention and meeting space experience. Castaway Bay and Sawmill Creek are scheduled to debut before the 2022 summer season. Canada’s Wonderland will have four seasons of world-class experiences, events and entertainment for guests of all ages, including a new International Food Festival featuring a diverse menu of culinary tastes, treats and drinks from around the world. In addition, the park will be expanding its culinary offerings in 2022 with the introduction of a multi-level, rustic lodge-restaurant that will be the park’s largest dining facility to date. Knott’s Berry Farm’s full Seasons of Fun lineup will return in 2022, kicking off with the return of the Peanut’s Celebration, an extended Boysenberry Festival in the spring, the return of Knott’s award-winning summer experience, Ghost Town Alive!, and the festive Knott’s Spooky and Merry Farm closing out the year. The Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel will also undergo a major renovation to its 300+ room onsite resort. Cedar Fair continues to invest millions of dollars into its two Schlitterbahn Waterpark properties in New Braunfels and Galveston, Texas. The enhancements for the 2022 season will focus on infrastructure and aesthetics throughout the park, including upgraded food locations and attractions. The planned projects will continue to improve the overall guest experience, while maintaining the unique character and iconic Schlitterbahn tradition that guests have treasured for more than 40 years. In addition, other Cedar Fair parks will offer a full lineup of seasonal events. The wildly popular Grand Carnivale celebration will return to a half-dozen parks next summer, including Carowinds, Dorney Park, Valleyfair and Worlds of Fun. In the fall, parks will offer Halloween-themed special events that are sure to delight adults and kids alike. Six parks will host Tricks & Treats events, with two others hosting Family Halloween. And as the weather turns colder, WinterFest will return to Carowinds, California’s Great America, Kings Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland and Kings Island. This immersive holiday experience is filled with millions of lights, enchanting themes areas, ice-skating, live holiday entertainment, sweet and savory treats, and a variety of additional activities for the entire family. “Each season we introduce a full slate of new rides and attractions, limited-time special events, and upgraded food and beverage programs,” Zimmerman said. “As we’ve seen across all our parks this summer, consumers are hungry for more, and with season passes now on sale for 2022, we are ready to satisfy their growing appetites for entertainment and family fun.” For more information about 2022 season passes, please visit www.cedarfair.com and click on your favorite park property.

As much as I would love to see PT make a comeback. Other than KI enthusiasts, would the general public like to have the same experience of animatronics? PT was a great experience in 1992. In 2002- not so much. Curse of DarKastle at BGW was a great dark ride and utilized the: video, 3D, special effects and motion motion simulation technology of the time, but it's lifespan only lasted 2005-2017 due to high maintenance and operating costs and low ridership. Could CF make that same investment? Never say never, but given the recent history, it does not seem to be in the cards.

Your post is quite concerning as other parks: Hershey, BGW etc. are focusing more on food quality. What you have described is anything but quality. What is quoted above is worse. Going to guest services and receiving the blow off line "there is nothing we can do". You are guest services, there are many things you can do to help smooth the issue. It literally is your job! Not that it matters, but did you happen to take a pic of the "meal" served?

Watching the WT removal video, I see more than WT's last launch. I see something old becoming new again.

Interesting that the dreaded "end of service life" was not used.

There was some teasing at Winter Chill Out. I anticipate it is about a ride removal which will lead into the teasing of a new ride.

Intamin impulse vs. Vekoma boomerang Yeah, anything except Vekoma.....
