They gave WFAA the following statement regarding the closed parks elsewhere in the nation:\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily closed similar attractions across our parks. The safety of our guests and team members remains one of our highest priorities.”<\/p>\n
According to ABC News, the following rides have been temporarily closed:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Six Flags Great America – Raging BullSix Flags Magic Mountain – GoliathSix Flags Great Adventure – NitroCanada’s Wonderland – Leviathan and BehemothCarowinds – Fury 325 and Thunder StrikerKings Island – Orion and Diamondback <\/p>\n
It is unclear what the other three closed rides are.<\/p>\n
Officials did not confirm how the person died, nor how the others were injured or their medical conditions after the incident at Six Flags Over Georgia, about 15 miles northwest of Atlanta. However,\u00a0witnesses told WXIA,\u00a0<\/a>WFAA’s Atlanta sister station, that a man had been ejected from the Goliath roller coaster, bouncing off the coaster three times.<\/p>\n “He was in our pictures,” a witness told WXIA of souvenir photos from the ride. “He fell and hit the car three different times.”\u00a0<\/p>\n The witness told WXIA the man’s body hit others on the ride before falling onto the roof of a haunted house attraction below.\u00a0<\/p>\n Authorities and Six Flags did not identify the roller coaster. However, local TV stations showed video of passengers being evacuated from the Goliath coaster.<\/p>\n Goliath, which was opened in 2006, reaches a top speed of 70 mph with a height of 200 feet, according to the park\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n During about 3 1\/2 minutes, riders \u201cnavigate through razor-sharp turns and soar over colossal hills,\u201d the website says.<\/p>\n The death would be at least the seventh at the Georgia park, including one in 2006 in which a man had a likely heart attack on the Goliath coaster, according to the Doan Law Firm, which tallies amusement park accidents and represents victims.<\/p>\n It also comes less than two weeks after Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California announced the retirement of its famous X2 roller coaster<\/a> following lawsuits alleging<\/a> serious brain injury caused by the ride. The park settled one wrongful-death lawsuit from the family of a 22-year-old man who died after riding the coaster in 2022.<\/p>\n
