Perhaps. More likely, it's just another case of an eyewitness being unreliable. This happened in an instant, and was traumatic to see. The mind becomes overwhelmed in situations like this. It happens all the time.

Wow. I feel awful for all involved. As brutal as that clip was, I can't imagine what that must have been like to witness in person. It will be interesting to learn what caused this.

Not at all happy about this. I understand why Universal is doing what they're doing, and I'm sure the new Potter shit will be ultra-successful, but this is just disappointing. There will be very little drawing me back to Universal after this happens- and I actually enjoyed the Potter books back in the day. I'll actually be in Orlando next week for work, and was planning on a day in Sea World to try out Mako- looks like I'll be splitting the day between the two parks, now.

^ Burning bush fire effects, or is that too Six Flags?

B&M - Inverts or Standups (ducks) Intamin - As much as I like Maverick, I think Giga/Hyper. Premier - Shuttle Launcher (Chiller, Freeze) S&S - Whatever Powder Keg is. Arrow - Megalooper Vekoma - GIB Morgan - Hyper Schwarzkopf - Looper

This is my favorite of the Cy-clones, so I'll be sad to see it go. Happily, like in all previous similar cases of recent vintage, the end result should be even better.

Phish at Northerly Island (right on top of Lake Michigan). Planning on catching them again there on Sunday.

Pretty big Sox/Cubs trade this morning- Jose Quintana to the Cubs for a handful of prospects (highlighted by Eloy Jiménez and Dylan Cease).

Looking forward to this. My travels may actually take me out to NE next week.

Electric Forest (first weekend). My word.

This is likely for the shed.

I thought they already did. You learn something new (and useless) every day.

Only the ridiculous think Batman The Ride is bad because multiple parks have one. I think most parks should have more than one Batman The Ride.

Having recently ridden SFGAm's, yeah, they are very unremarkable. It'd be a wash, though. Knott's would, in essence, be trading old bad* (Boomerang) for new bad (Free Spin). *I prefer the old bad.

These are my thoughts exactly. It's a one and done for me as well.

I don't believe they do- at least this wasn't the case the last time I visited. It would certainly put a damper on my upcoming visit if this has changed...

And a runaway shopping cart, based on the POV.

Cedar Point already has Power Tower, which feels pretty much like an observation tower, only outdoors.

Except Super Loops.

Same here, except not really interested in a day ride. I imagine it'd be like watering down a good beer and then drinking it warm.

^ Watch out for the gulls. They lost one of their own, so...

Had plans to return to Hershey on 7/3, but plans change- I'll be doing this instead. Siked to revisit this work of art.

Haha, I had a feeling this would happen. Glad to see it come true.
