Wasn't this the same park that two weeks ago the roller coaster malfunctioned half way through leaving riders stuck half way through upside down for over thirty minutes until the Fire Department came to get them down?

I don't trust any six flags...I've heard way too many bad stories.


Best parks to go to are:
-Hershey Park
-Ceader Point
-Bush Gardens(Tampa)
-Dorney Park

None of those rides are really safe.

I wonder who would be at fault the park or the ride manufacturer. It's really a toos up because the man. designed and built the ride, but the park insureses the safety and preforms safety checks and maintence. Maybe they are both liable?
