KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) This is scary! Look at the video and at the end you can see the cables snap and the ride fall down. Luckily it was near the bottom!

Maverick44 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Oh my god. Its terrible that park workers were trying to cover it up and asked for a compromise from on lookers. Do we know who manufactures the ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 In steps Intamin “with our patented magnetic braking system, you will never be let down!” In all seriousness though, I hope everyone is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don't think that was an Intamin ride. not sure this is a joking matter that people's lives could be forever altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Oh I know, I was joking because clearly this doesn’t have brakes, only a cable. I was doing it from the perspective of Intamin trying to show why their brakes are important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them too! It may have taken 2 days of effort, but I was finally able to ride Top Thrill Dragster, In fact 3 of my 4 “must rides” were Intamin for my first visit to CP, Millennium Force, TTD, Maverick, and Steel Vengeance were the ones I decided to travel 5 hours for lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxxForce Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Caution, this post may contain sensitive material that might upset some readers. This is just how I felt upon seeing the video and I don't want to be mean: I wouldn't be surprised if this wound up in a video with the title "OMG TOP ROLLER COASTER ACCIDENTS!" Seriously, you know a clickbait channel will probably take this video and make it seem like it happens all the time. They'll probably also exaggerate some facts too, just to make this seem worse than it actually was. With that out of the way, I truly feel bad for everyone whose lives were changed by this event. I sincerely hope no one died and everyone can just learn from this and understand that it wasn't anybody's fault. I also hope that people understand accidents like this are extremely rare, and that mostly amusement park rides are safe. I'm just a little bit worried that people will think this happens all the time. Well, those are my thoughts. If anyone finds this post violates the TOS, I will accept the consequences.
