Mishaps at Kings Island and Kings Dominion.
Man dies after riding Gwazi at Busch Gardens Africa (Tampa, FL).
Several other injuries/mishaps.
Now a death on the new Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Cobb County authorities say a 45-year-old man died of an apparent heart attack after becoming unconscious during a roller coaster ride at Six Flags amusement park.
Fire Lt. Dan Dupree said authorities were called to the park about noon Thursday after the man lost consciousness while on the park's newest roller coaster — Goliath.
Dupree said firefighters arrived to see Emergency Medical Services workers and employees of the park treating a man who was suffering from cardiac arrest. The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities have not released his name.
So far, not a great year for amusement parks - especially since many of these weren't necessarily due to rider misconduct - nor operator error.
