GamesAndRides Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 From a Facebook page I follow, An evacuation is underway on the Goliath Mega Coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. Train is stopped at a section block brakes. The TV channel FOX talking about a derailment without elaborating power now. Goliath is a Mega Coaster of mabufacturier Switzerland Giovanola built in 2000, 1371 meters (4500 ft), with a peak at 71 meters (235 ft) trains can reach speeds of 136 km / h (85 mph). More in a few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm guessing the media is over-sensationalizing it and blowing it out of proportion. More than likely it's a typical, safe e-stop. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Now I would consider the WindSeeker problem pretty serious. 4 hours is a long time to be stuck on a ride. Many things can go wrong, buts that off topic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No media reports on the web. Nothing on WTOP Newsradio. I vote for misunderstanding and\or exaggeration. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
