-
- No way! As a matter of fact, for the two incidents I have knowledge
- of, entire *sections of the park* were closed for the day, and the
- attraction in general was closed for an extended period (or taken out
- without ever reopening).
-
- > 2. Aren't people weary to ride a ride which someone expired on?
-
- Some. Then again, others become more excited about the ride. But
- the increased safety measures the park imposes on the ride after the
- incident cause the now-longer lines to become even slower.
