edboxer Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Surprised this hasn't been mentioned (unless I missed it). Staten Island boys rescued from stuck roller coaster on N.J. shore by Staten Island Advance Tuesday July 21, 2009, 1:47 PM Four Staten Island boys were rescued from a roller coaster on the New Jersey shore after it got stuck at the top of the ride. A 12-year-old and three 8-year-olds were plucked by firefighters who extended the ladder on their aerial truck to reach them, the Asbury Park Press reported. Police shut down the ride at the Keansburg boardwalk and state inspectors were called. ------ It was the Wildcat - We rode it again just last Wednesday! I commented to the ride op that it seriously needed greased.
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Why were inspectors called? Rides break down all the time. Nobody got hurt, the roller coaster stopped at the top just like it should have if it was broken.
spaceace12 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 My guess is that the police wanted it checked out to see if has been maintianed propery.
larrygator Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hopefully, it won't be SBNO for 3-4 years this time around.
Jcoaster Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Sweet! Staten Island finally getting some airtime! (No pun intended)
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I just rode it on July 10th. The cycle was fine. It's just the one operator operation I didn't care for.
