Breaking News - Another Accident on Thunder Mountain Today

[stevek]

Just heard on the 6pm KNBC that there was another accident on Thunder Mountain around 5:30pm tonight. Apparently, two cars "bumped" each other and an 11 year old boy suffered minor neck injuries. No other details released at this time.

Doesn't that seem unusual

Good Lord. Even if it is a minor accident, the last thing this ride needs is yet another incident. I was there a few weeks ago and an e-stop occured and they emptied the whole queue. Which seems par for the course. I see it down on almost every visit and I am there fairly often. I find it odd that this much downtime is acceptable to TDA.

I've said it before and I will say it yet again. This ride needs a new computer controller. I'm wondering if the other BTMR rides go down that often and have these kinds of incidents and hour-long/queue-clearing resets. Does anyone know?

When I came to the Mouseinfo Homepage and saw the "Another Big Thunder Accident" I imidiatly felt terrible. I was glad to hear no one was seriously injured, and felt a little better. But why are all of these acidents happaning on the same attraction? Big Thunder never had accidents before? did they? I just hope whatever it is, that its cleared.

Kinda like Roller Coaster Tycoon, once you have one accident your sure to have many more. Weird!
