Amusement park rides

[Gordon]

There is a case here, of a girl, whose feet were severed in a ride at Kentucky Kingdom, a Six Flags park.

I never was a thrill ride fan, but I'm definitely not anymore. That accident happened on a ride called Superman, which was an intense up/down escalator style ride. Rides in even the safest amusement parks are dangerous, and pose risks, too, so be careful wherever you are.

Weird =/

When i was younger, we went to the EX and I went on a kiddie ride, when I got off I begged my mom to let me back on. She told me to watch the next ride, and then go after that.
So I watched the ride I had just been on, 2 minutes into the swirly-fun the whole ride collapsed.
A little girl and her father passed away.
=.

I am not a fan of amusement park rides. I don't like anything that goes upside down, backwards, or sprays water at me. Also don't like heights, so even the "easy" roller coasters are out.

On the few occasions I've been dragged to the amusement park, I spend my time at the carousel. There's usually not a line for that. LOL.

I hate most carnival rides, whenever I go my friends go on rides and I usually just hang back, I'm scared of heights and I just don't find anything enjoyable about being thrown around, plus I think it's a waste of money. Whenever the carnival comes to town I go on one ride and that's it.

When it came a couple of years back a girl on this ride called the sizzlers stood up for some reason and was knocked back, she's brain damaged and paralysed.

Before they turned Opry Land into Opry Mills, my brother got stuck on "The Hangman" ride. :nerves1

I've ridden one roller coaster in my life called "The Ring Of Fire/Fire Ball" and I'll never do it again.

Those appear to be roller coasters. This situation was a "hellevator" style ride. I think I described it as an "escalator" style in my original post, lol.

The story about what happened here is in this link:

Lol I should have mentioned that I knew about that one. I just felt the creepy part was they all had the name Superman attached to them.

It's weird, for sure.
