Isn't this like the 3rd death at this park? How has this park not gotten new management yet?

[coasterbill]

I mean...

a man scaled a third-floor railing and stood stationary on an adjacent pillar. He then successfully jumped onto another pillar located across an opening in the stairwell, before losing his balance and falling approximately forty feet onto a concrete slab below.

... he was clearly sh*tfaced right?. While I DO expect a new fatality every time this thread is bumped, this one is clearly not the park's fault.

Agreed, and the previous death wasn't their fault either. Some dumb kids broke into the park and were sledding down the snow covered slides when one of them fell off and died. I don't know what it is about this park, but it seems to attract people that make really bad choices.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

There's got to be something in the cheese.

Make it 5, gents. As soon as I saw it bumped I said out loud, "who died now?"

A fire broke out at the Mt. Olympus Theme Park at around 4 this morning.

 

Emergency crews said the fire started in a maintenance building.

 

Firefighters had the fire under control in about an hour, they said the building is a total loss.

 

Investigators aren't sure what sparked the fire -- but they said operations at the resort won't be impacted.

 

No injuries were reported.

 

God does not want this place to exist.

They just posted on Facebook as well...

[Ed Farmer]

Did they build this park on Indian burial grounds?

[SharkTums]

Has the fire department questioned this guy?

[CaptainUnknown]

^I think they might have better luck interrogating this guy--who has a hot tub filled with fire and brimstone.

[DirkFunk]

Obviously this isn't going to affect anything. They don't do any maintenance there.

[coasterbill]

That's a great point. The official story coming from the park doesn't check out here. I'm operating under the assumption that it was a front for a meth lab.

[ScreaminNewEngland]

I wonder if any of the coaster trains were in that maintenance building......

[SharkTums]

Win.

Doing a search on the incident, I discovered that there has been quite a few deaths of hikers climbing the actual Mount Olympus in Greece (latest being last December). Interesting.

[Mr. Corn]

so now mt. olympus has 1 less eyesore (with free demolition) and they won't have to pay all 2 maintenance workers currently on the payroll anymore. suspicious much??

[Rollercoaster Rider]

I thought their maintenance building was a closet with Duct tape and a screwdriver.

 

I think their maintenance budget goes to buying a hotel and raising its rates to $300 a night.

Not sure the best place to post this, but rcdb is listing Avalanche at Timber Falls as SBNO. Posted with this:

 

The park has stated they would be shutting down the roller coaster for good this summer (2018). No word on if/when the ride will be taken down.

 

Anybody have more information? Is that it? Are we closed for good here?
