More victims at the wrong end of a gun. How many more have to perish before changes are made to help these senseless incidents from happening? Prayers to the victims & families....... These incidents are terrible enough on their own without having to read stupidity like this. 49 innocent people lost their lives due to some raving lunatic. All of those people were in a gun free zone in Orlando. The law already on the books against having a gun (not to mention the law against murder) in that location sure worked well, didn't it? Since you brought it up, what exactly is your solution? So, being "stupid" and all...... inform me, what is considered a "raving lunatic"? Was he not the same "raving lunatic" when approved for the gun purchase? Was he not the same "raving lunatic" when he was scouting potential targets? Was he not the same "RAVING LUNATIC" when the FBI looked into his back round? But some how, this "RAVING LUNATIC" was able to legally purchase a weapon that took the lives of 49 people. Or is he now a "RAVING LUNATIC" because now he took 49 innocent lives? Go ahead, call me stupid for feeling that our gun regulations are way too relaxed. Call me stupid for feeling that gun loopholes that allow weapon purchase at gun shows are non-existent. Go ahead and call me stupid for believing that weapons like the one used were never intended for protection under the 2nd Amendment by our founding fathers. You want to own a gun? Great. Go through protocols similar to owning a car: registration, insurance, yearly gun & yearly mental inspections. And what needs to be added- a stipulation that only the licensed owner can use and access the weapon.

All nonsense. Florida is gator heaven. That's like living in Oklahoma, being hit by a tornado, and going "well, I never thought of tornadoes unless I saw one, which I did every other week in the Spring". It's tornado alley. Duh! Excellent analogy! The family is from Nebraska...... Even in this updated article an anonymous Disney employee made a comment on how guests, most likely from another state, will feed the gators:

You can? Why?

That movie video is hilarious. I want to thank all that have contributed, and will be contributing, to not only this discussion, but throwing out hints & speculating that is all in good fun. It breaks my day up with much humor!! - Brown

Wow. Just an insane event. I feel just sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I can understand why the child was allowed in the water, even with the no swimming signs posted. For me: I am from the Northeastern US. When I have visited WDW, I never thought of gators unless I saw one- which I did when taking a pontoon boat from our resort to Downtown Disney. If I saw the no swimming sign, I would have thought no swimming means entering the water above my knees. If my child was simply wading, I would never (until now) thought it would be an issue. Now if a "do not enter the water" sign was posted, or "don't get near the water sign" was posted, then I would never enter the water. This is the violence of nature. Most of us experience it where we live (weather, wild animals etc.). In hindsight-It absolutely could have been prevented, but I cannot blame anyone. Things like this just SU@&.

That is crazy. I can't start to imagine what I would do given the same situation....... Prayers to the family.

I put the conversation of changing Beast on the same level as "KI vs CP", it nauseates me.

Educate me, how did that turn out?

More victims at the wrong end of a gun. How many more have to perish before changes are made to help these senseless incidents from happening? Prayers to the victims & families.......

Whitewater Canyon Geysers guy> Lemon Chill guy> Dippin Dots guy..............

Magnum XL-200 is arguably the best built & most popular Arrow ever.

If the rumor is not total crap........ The prints seen today may be just for a general layout, and not showing a detailed layout: i.e.: elevations, inversions, twists, etc. (yes, inversions. I do not believe KI will build a wood coaster w/o inversions.) Relax people. Banshee was blasted by naysayers when similar stuff came out, and it is a great coaster.

It's an aquatrax.

Press conference currently scheduled for 1:00pm today: http://ktla.com/2016/06/06/cincinnati-gorilla-killing-prosecutor-to-decide-on-charges-in-shooting-of-harambe/ EDIT: No charges filed. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/06/06/live-prosecutor-announces-decision-zoo-charges/85491968/

So you are confirming (not denying) he took great pleasure in the comment. Ahhhh....... the hints continue.......

Excellent article! Thanks for sharing on our forum!

Double post.

Of course it was careless and avoidable, but it happened. Was the mother careless? Yes. At one point being a parent situations like this do happen, but luckily, a large percentage do not end up like this. The zoo is not at fault, but they are being held responsible for the necessary actions taken. There is no doubt the zoo did not want to kill the animal, but due to the situation at hand, had no choice. If a trainer entered the enclosure, the animal could go into over protection mode and attempt to bring the child out of harms way which could end up killing the child. Take a look at how the animal dragged the child- much like how the animal treats their own offspring- but not a human being. Can the zoo do more? Sure. But at what cost? (which eventually falls onto you and me). Should the mother be charged? No. No malicious intent was there and as long as this is the first time it has happened, there is no reason to make a bad situation worse. The zoo did what it had to do to save the life of the child. If the child would have died, the animal would still be dead. Now there are 2 innocent lives lost.

I made it to the Darien Lake death then stopped reading. I couldn't stomach the excitement of the rest of the article....... Funny how the writer is clamoring that the amusement park industry does not give patrons the full story of injury stats of rides when the writer does the same thing by not giving the full story on how the man perished.

Horrible situation. Glad the boy is ok even if the correct decision was made.

Band-aid. Broken leg.

Falling trees? A new ride called 'Timber Tower' of course!

But which coaster is it easier to hold a girls hand on??? Oh, I'm so confused!!

SoB testing? Yeah. Right. I'll believe it when I see it.Now what I do believe: ScreamScape has reported that the land clearing is from a local sasquatch family setting up chairs in anticipation of witnessing work on SoB. Ah, the memories of dirt......

Well looky here...... 2 new garbage men & toilet plungers for the park......
