All I'm saying is that sometimes even the best of parents can have a bad moment, and one bad moment is all it takes. Until we know more about the parents of this child, we cannot judge them. One mistake every so often does not make you an idiot or mean you're a failure, it simply means you're human.

Why are the pictures so obnoxiously huge? Resize them, for God's sake! EDIT: Okay, your doing it. Nevermind.

It does have something to do with clocks.

Why is everybody being so judgmental? We simply can't make any conclusions about who's responsible until all the details are known. Doing so would be unfair and foolish. What I want to know is how the toddler got into the ride area to begin with. That fence doesn't look like a toddler could squeeze under it or easily climb over it.

^No. HINT: It's made in Germany.

^WTF?! I always wear my glasses, but I use an adjustable strap just to be on the safe side.

Go back and read the last page of comments. If the fence was really the problem, children would be dying right at left. In this case, the fencing that was there seemed to work fine for TEN YEARS until this incident. So why NOW, because of parents who couldn't be bothered to watch their kids, do they need a new fence? Here, instead of just writing the same things over and over again, I'll just quote Elissa from the first place. Please, be sure you READ the thread before you post. The moral of the story - "Don't be an idiot." You completely missed my point. All I said was the fence failed to stop the child from entering the ride area. Had it done so, the child would still be alive. Nonetheless, it is completely unreasonable to expect the fair to make sure all their fences are childproof. The fair took reasonable safety precautions to prevent people from entering the ride area, and thus can't be held accountable for the child's death. I will now address the parental factor. We cannot judge the parents because we do not have any precedent with which to judge them. It is entirely possible that they are very good parents who just had a rare moment of inattentiveness. If that is indeed the case, then they cannot be held accountable for their child's death because even good parents make mistakes from time to time. However, if the parents proved to be chronically inattentive to their child, then obviously they can and should be held accountable. I hope I've made myself clear.

How did a thread about Magnum's new sign get to be 12 pages long?! Are we truly that pathetic? Nevermind, don't answer that.

After reading the article and thinking about this, I have have concluded there were multiple factors involved in this accident, mainly: - The inattentiveness of the parents (human error) - The age and maturity of the child (2 year olds are very curious and oblivious to danger) - The proximity of the inflatable bounce house to the portable coaster. - Inadequate fencing (the fence did fail to stop the child, that much can't be ignored) Clearly, no single factor contributed to the death of this child. Having said that, it is unfair to pin the blame solely on the fair owners or parents, as making sure the fencing is childproof goes beyond the reasonable safety measures the park would be expected to take, and it is unfair to expect that nothing will ever distract the parents from their child, not even for a moment. Sometimes things just happen, and no can really be blamed for them. My sympathies go out to the parents, who are probably trying to make sense of what happened to them.

Nice. I especially like the non-inverting loop. I was tentatively planning on going to Orlando in summer 2010, maybe I can ride it then.

"At least we're not Detroit!" The sad thing though, according to the Clevelanders on Youtube, is that everything these videos say is essentially true.

New signs and logos are always nice. Besides, Magnum kind of needed it.

No.

Guess away! A dildo this is not.

4/10 The good: - relatively smooth for a hand-built coaster. - I saw a few pops of airtime The bad: -Boring and drawn out in a few places. -There was a trim brake in the tunnel. -There were a few noticeable pumps. The verdict: Not great, but considering it's only your third coaster, it's pretty good.

I thought this was pretty funny. Taken from CoasterCrazy.com Want an interesting onride photo? Do something outrageous.

I noticed an error. Kennywood's Musik Express should be spelled with a "k", not a "c". MOD EDIT by larrygator: I fixed it, the lights in the letter "K" were out in the picture you submit, so that's my excuse.

After seeing those trains, I think this is going to be the most ill-themed ride in the world. In all honesty though, I don't care as long as it's a good coaster.

^According to Jeff Filicko, they were removed to give people a better view of the Racer. Personally, I think it was a good move.
