in a statement on Friday.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cAs efforts to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident continue, certain rides similar to the attraction involved in Georgia remain temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution. This includes Leviathan and Behemoth,\u201d Canada\u2019s Wonderland President Christopher Mortensen said in a statement.<\/p>\n
He did not provide an exact timeline when the rides will reopen. Most coasters closed after the park\u2019s Halloween events.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, one person died after being reportedly thrown from the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. The death led to the closure of at least 11 coasters in Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n
In his statement, Mortensen said that the park maintains \u201crigorous inspection, maintenance, and operational procedures\u201d and that its attractions undergo daily, weekly, monthly, and annual inspections. He added that park staff also receive extensive training to operate the rides.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile serious incidents of this nature are exceedingly rare, we never take responsibility to our guests for granted and remain committed to continuously strengthening our operations and safety practices,\u201d Mortensen said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate the patience, understanding, and support of our guests and communities during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mortensen noted that all other rides and attractions that are scheduled to operate will be available to guests.<\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s Wonderland is a Six Flags property after the amusement park\u2019s owner, Cedar Fair, merged with the theme park giant in 2023.<\/p>\n
