Thank you for sharing J.T.; I'm sure it was a terrible experience to have a fun day so tragically marred.

In 1969 at Six Flags Over Georgia a girl fell to her death from a ride called the Wheel Barrow. I was there. The sound of her body crashing through a sheet metal roof could be heard all over the park. It made for a horrible day.

Ralph - The Haunted Castle was a walk-through dark ride at Six Flags Great Adventure, NJ. On May 11, 1984, the ride was destroyed by fire and eight teenagers were killed in the accident. Flammable building materials and a lack of proper sprinkling equipment (due to the ride's classification as a temporary structure) contributed to the tragedy, and the cause of the fire was believed to be arson but was never thoroughly substantiated. Lawsuits were filed and settled, and the ride reopened the next year with sprinkler systems, alarms, and other safety improvements.
