cyurock Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I was at the park yesterday afternoon and was on my second ride on Banshee when my wife and I got held on the brake run entering station due to some one sick on train in station. While waiting I looked to the left and seen a man walking around by the ride fencing looking for something. When we got in the station I alerted ride ops to this issue as I did not want to see anyone hurt or killed due to someone being where they should not be. When we exited ride we went near entrance of Banshee and said something to person there also and looked trying to figure out how they got in in first place. While leaving we seen next train out held on lift hill and security heading that way. Has anyone else seen anyone in restricted areas not authorized to be there?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin22 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I’m sure it’s not unheard of, although Banshee is the last ride I’d want to be around when it comes to entering a restricted area. Inverted coasters have a track record of severely injuring those who choose to enter the restricted areas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Raptor at Cedar Point killed someone a few years ago for that reason. Someone entering the restricted area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN&ONLY! Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Maybe you saved the man’s life, telling the park employee, and ultimately having security stop him. As for his consequences, he was probably ejected from the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 There was a maintenance dude hanging out at the double helix on The Beast when I rode it a few weeks ago. Figured he knew what he was doing, but I was surprised that anyone was allowed back there without a lock-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 We got to go back there on one of The Beast tours I went on, while Beast was running. Apparently the helix isn’t a lock-out area. I’ve also seen maintenance down there before. The last time I did (from the ride), earlier this year, I waved and one saw me and waved back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin22 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I’ve gotta go to coaster stock next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You do because it’s a great event, but Coasterstock Beast tours are typically far too many people to be taken into the helix. It was one of Don’s impromptu twitter-advertised tours a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
