The incident caused lacerations to one 12 year old guest who came in contact with the cable. A male adult guest complained of back pain. All other guests were asked for a statement and released.

[QUOTE=Fables;21479105]Wait I went there only two days before this happened then.[/QUOTE] Did you ride it? You could have been a mere two days away from getting pelted with debris and scalded with hot oil. How's it feel? :v:

[QUOTE=DiscoPony;21479082]:raise: Not exactly [B]new[/B]s[/QUOTE] news to anybody who hasn't heard it. and for your information. its STILL closed. DOSH or what ever takes forever. OSHA was quick when scream at SFMM killed some body

[b]"BLAME IT ON CONSERVATIVES THEY CAN'T DO SHIT RIGHT!."[/b] To add: That was a really close one.

is it 2009 again?

[QUOTE=ducky5;21479189]news to anybody who hasn't heard it. and for your information. its STILL closed. DOSH or what ever takes forever. OSHA was quick when scream at SFMM killed some body[/QUOTE] It's scheduled to reopen in 10 days, on April 30. It would have been better to wait till then to post the old story and a followup.

Good thing they didn't end up being Knotts [i]Burial[/i] Farm.

I went on that ride last summer.

So that's why it was closed when I went last Saturday. Xccelerator still feels like you just got punched at 80 mph, no matter where you sit.

It's almost been a year. It's been closed 24/7 since, which is pissing me off, since I love going on it.

Xcelerator sucks. It has one "hill" and the rest is a couple twists and turns. It's not worth the hour wait to go on at all.

Why do the sources say it happened on different dates?

[QUOTE=FordLord;21497794]Why do the sources say it happened on different dates?[/QUOTE] AP put up the original story on the 18th, but the incident happened on the 16th. [QUOTE=40kplayer;21496073]It's almost been a year. It's been closed 24/7 since, which is pissing me off, since I love going on it.[/QUOTE] It's scheduled to reopen on the 30th, so have fun. :smile:
