yeah. . not a good look.   I would guess a Chaperone Policy is gonna be announced sooner, rather than later, to make the General Public feel "safer"

tho not sure how effective that would be regardless as not all Teenagers are the same, so they end up punishing the good kids along with the troublemakers.

Georgia Gold Rusher’s Backstory

“There’s gold in them thar hills!” Georgia’s gold rush in the 1880s brought prospectors from far and wide to extract the precious ore. One such miner was William “Willy” Gibson, a young, smart entrepreneur with a wily streak.

With thoughts of “work smarter, not harder,” Gibson figured out a way to avoid the hard work of manual labor to mine gold. He used a steam-powered hydraulic excavator. The giant machine slugged forward and backward through a huge water reservoir, twisting and turning the dirt below with the hopes of loosening valuable gold from the soil. It worked beautifully—and offered folks a refreshing treat, too.

Sometimes when townspeople needed a break from the hot Georgia sun, Gibson let them cool off with a thrilling spin on the machine. Riders enjoyed refreshing mist of water as the mining sled careened up and down the U-shaped track.

What is free-spinning gondola seating?

Free-spinning gondola seating delivers an exhilarating experience like no other. Riders sit in outward-facing circles on two free-spinning platforms mounted to a massive gondola. The gondola launches back and forth on a 590-foot, U-shaped track reaching speeds up to 60 miles per hour.

The Georgia Gold Rusher packs in numerous hair-raising airtime experiences, taking riders to dizzying heights of up to 144 feet. When gravity eventually takes over, riders dive straight down and glide across a water reservoir. The unique free-spinning platform ensure guests enjoy a different thrill experience with each ride.

I somehow overlooked SFoG also not opening this ride up last year. Got marginally excited for a second there. That'll learn me.

That said, the rename is a slight improvement.
