Most of them are.

A HHN thread in January is like still having your Christmas tree up in summer.

Defunctland. It's already open. Enjoy.

I think it's quite obvious at this point that people don't want to believe my claims precisely because they'd rather live in a fantasy world where amusement parks are perfectly safe. I could've worded that any number of ways and we'd still be having this conversation, because folks would rather...

I didn't say any of that actually. You just came up with it. Like I (actually) said before, there needn't be some cartoonish conspiracy to kill guests. That doesn't mean the amusement industry is perfectly safe with a clean track record. I'm not even going to try making a half-reasonable...

Translation: "I'm in deep denial, so stop accusing my beloved parks of ever doing any wrong." I'm not "talking #$%#," although the fact that you chose to interpret it that way is very telling. I'm merely stating, in a very unbiased fashion, what goes down in the amusement industry on a regular...

You must be fun at parties. You know "negligence" isn't just a legal term, right? And that there are other ways of showing the negligence of amusement parks other than them being found negligent in a court of law? Or do you think no one's ever at fault just because a settlement has occurred? If...

I never said settlements prove negligence. I mentioned that they quietly offer settlements (or at least a free T-shirt!) whenever things go wrong and the park knows they're at fault, which is a verifiable fact (since not everyone abides by their NDA), but I never said anything about those cases...

I didn't add anything, my whole point was that amusement parks are found negligent on a regular basis because they are negligent on a regular basis. I wasn't saying they're found negligent in the absence of evidence. Multiple people die or get maimed on amusement rides due to owner/operator...

Negligence is very easy to prove whenever a ride has a catastrophic malfunction through no fault of its riders, which happens... say it with me... all the time. Does anyone even need to prove negligence to win a settlement against a theme park? Nope. Just ask the woman who very recently got a...

That would suggest that even non-peak nights, of which I've been attending, should be unusually busy. They haven't been. I could maybe be convinced of unusually busy weekends, but I was there personally to witness business as usual on the other nights. For the longest time, FNAF was the only...

I guess Disney and other parks are "folk" then, since they also assume risk, but then I have no idea what you were actually getting at. Which, again, happens all the time in the amusement industry.

Which happens all the time. Even Disney was nailed for negligence in the Thunder Mountain death (and probably others.)

So you think theme parks have never been successfully sued and held liable for accidents? Because their guests "knowingly positioned themselves in a state of risk?" 🤔 Or skydiving schools, etc?
