The ride is rough in general. Even when I used to go 10+ years ago.

[@GLOATINGMAPLE01]

It is likely because of its age it is a 30 year old ride I rode it recently and it has gotten rough

[@WayfaringStar]

This is the best coverage of this i have seen. It was so hush hush when this happened and for MONTHS after. Awful.

[@BackSeatJunkie]

This is truly sad and unfortunate.....and it was completely avoidable.

[@Boomkinguyman]

The ride is still up. Someone died. No one was held accountable. Imagine if you died because of this and no one gave a shit. It happens every fucking day.

[@Plasma_iguess]

​@@Boomkinguymanit was not the rides fault, it was the ride operators. And this ride runs rough all the time

[@mechellehuber5352]

I was a ride operator at Six Flags and to know that they had employees standing inside the track area while the ride was running IS INSANE. THAT IS NOT NECESSARY. DUCT TAPE THE SPEED GUN TO A POST AND GTFO.

I just went yesterday 😮

[@ashleighpiccinino1849]

Remember, when parts of the coaster went backwards for a while? That was actually the best way to ride, I thought. Of course, frontwards is OK too, but I think I liked backwards better. I guess the coaster was never supposed to be half front words and half backwards, though. However. that’s why those wrappers fit so tightly. It’s supposed to be a little rough, sounding like thunder in your ears. That’s the whole point of the word thunderation. Let’s hope it’s not never decommission.

i road that like 10 times in 1 day in 2018

[@syd3791]

I’ve been riding that ride my whole life
I never liked how bumpy it was but I always rode it because it was one of my family’s favorites

[@Daniel_B_23]

So sad 😢

[@wyatttrainworld]

[@arcadebuilder533]
