Just read about the person who died at Disneyland today on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Boy, we have ridden the one in Florida MANY times. It’s one of the few roller coasters Mr. Dump would ever go on, and Junior, speed freak that he is, loves it too.
I can’t even imagine how the engine uncoupled from the rest of the cars, or how that would cause someone to actually die. God, the whole thing is awful. You read the carnival rides and amusement parks aren’t regulated enough, and yet when you’re there you just trust that nothing bad will ever happen. And then in one the places that I would expect everything to be just that much safer, this happens.
