Dbfan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It seems the news is overreacting, from what I read, the power was out for one minute. One minute without power, then everything started back up again. So you got an extra minute sitting on a lift hill, I dont get why its such a big ordeal. Dbfan, waiting for terpy to explan why he is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Two words: New Jersey. Rides must be evacuated there in many cases when they could just be restarted if the ride were in another state. New Jersey has a very strict, and very different, operating environment.

The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 The local paper, The Asbury Park Press, reports that Angel Aristone of PR at GAd says all riders were evacuated at the end of the ride cycles: http://www.app.com/a...Great-Adventure The rides then were shut down for safety checks. So, Dbfan, you were right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rcfreak339 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The news is making is sound as if all the rides just suddenly stopped in the middle of the ride, even if they weren't on the lifts/brakes which is 100% wrong. News trying to scare the public...whats new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Great Adventure serves the largest media market in the country. Every little thing there, good or bad, makes the news, and how... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Holiday World lost power this evening as well, just a little after 5. Liberty Launch was struck by lightening during the storm that caused the outage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
