Compa_Mighty Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Hey people, I heard about an accident in the Big Red Mountain Railroad, in Disneyland, California, however, I don't know what exactly happenned. Could some one throw some light in here please?
Boba Rhett Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 One Two Three Four Five Take your pick. Long story short, the locomotive disconnected from the rest of the train and derailed. The man in the front seat was killed and the ten people behind him were injured.
GUNNER Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Damn, that's sad. We were just there in May. My 4 year old rode that thing 3 times. It's a great little coaster. To bad this had to happen..
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Well that's sad. But accidents do happen in all themeparks.
Fishflesh Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Lucky thing i am back in the netherlands i whent on that ride 2 times just 3 weeks agow!!!! in my vaction (did get a free fastpas from somebody) this is bad
Billy Shears Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Damn Disneyworld. They closed Alien Encounter!
Zygomaticus Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Yeah, terrible thing to happen. I wonder what the consequences will be. They can't be too good
Taos Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 I love that ride too, it's so much fun! But man, this is very sad........I'm sure they already have the lawsuit ready to go.
Sherack Nhar Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Bad publicity that will be forgotten in a few months. Too bad for the casualties... but I doubt Disney will do anything about the security. It just doesn't happen often enough; they'll just wait for things to die down.
jediduo Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Oh, with the way things are today, I'm positive that someone will try to sue. People are crappy and greedy like that.
Boba Rhett Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Well in a case like this I think someone needs to be sued. Disney is always shooting their mouth off about how they check things.
swphreak Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 that stinks... I like Thunder Railroad at Disney in Orlando. I hope they don't shut the ride down

Disney is always shooting their mouth off about how they check things. This time I agree. I don't particularly like the easiness with which you americans can sue anybody (not criticizing, just posting my point of view), but Disney deserves to be sued. Like Rhett said, they're always saying they have excellent maintenance and security, I don't know about you people, but if you cannot feel safe in a ride at Disney, then where can you?
Fishflesh Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 when i want to go on it 3 weeks agow that alrady had closed the ride for 2 hours becose thay had problems!
Surfnshannon Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I've rode this coaster too many times to count...and long story short...there has been a number of times when I thought I was going to fly out. Its a rough coaster with only a bar across your lap. My friend works at disney...maybe I can find out the inside scoop...
