That'll make for some good viral videos, at least. Clickbait thumbnails for years to come!

Moved a bunch of posts from the different threads into this one thread. There will be some funny post order/duplicates of people sharing the news.

Oh snap - I've ridden all of these. I didn't realise. Not quite as neat as @davidm's collection, but it made me realise I'd at least done them all. So since I've ridden the lot, they can scrap them all tomorrow for all I care.

Useful info, thanks @#BringBackWindstorm. Was there any update/information on opening?

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. I wasn't really following the construction and had it in my head it was still another 12/18 months off. I should imagine so. Though imagine there's some interesting meetings on that happening in private! :D

Oh if they were nearly done (which, to be honest was further along than I thought it was), then that seems a lot more plausible as there'd be a lot of 'rework' to do. Good info, thanks.

Open question - is that the additional cost due to the fire, or the cost to get it completed? I agree, that sounds awfully high (even notwithstanding the extra faff of surveying the damaged elements), and makes me think that could include finishing the stuff they hadn't done already (finishing...

You've got Air Force & Space Force. Do we need to make sure our copyright it watertight on CoasterForce? ;)

This might be one of the greatest shots of a roller coaster ever. I'm in love with the self-supporting drop. <3

Well I do now...!

They probably don't, but they also probably have insurance. That's usually where these things go (heck - even the likes of the big banks tend to pay their regulatory fines from insurance rather than their cash reserves). I would be surprised if they don't appeal the decision (if they can). If...

The one at SFOG is also SBNO, so sounds like more of a design issue.

Just Coast2Coaster doomdream-scrolling, and noticed RCDB is listing this as SBNO now: https://rcdb.com/20548.htm

Sorry... the what-erang?

Moved across to the USJ thread. :) It looks like one of those things that may look a bit rubbish in POVs and require the actual on-ride experience to work well (for example, the camera seemed to be obstructed by the front of the train for quite a bit of this). Then again, it's hard to see how...

The real world isn't that exact. The judge will have been through the thought process - I reckon about a third of the blame lies with the family (presumably not supervising the kid, in short) and two thirds lies with the park (having unsecured high risk areas). Well 33.3% is a pain in the butt...

I think important detail there is that they did attribute 35% of the blame to the family too, so the net award was 'only' $5.3m. Sounds like a pretty horrendous accident nonetheless!

It's now had the Let's Game It Out treatment:
