I just heard that Big Thunder finally reopened last night! :sohappy: The DOSH report has been released, and can be found here in PDF format.

The problem: attractions CM error

They have a nice Thunder....but I like ours better.

I actually went on DL's Thunder just days after it had reopened from the fatal accident....sat in the exact same row as the man who tragedly died did....now THAT was scary. :lookaroun

Well, a few on Whiplash Mountain didn't... but those were all Darwin Errors.

Glad to hear that it reopened. I won't hesitate to ride again. It's safer than driving on the highway!!

Not just human error but, also a software glich that happened with 4 count them 4 different and sequentall instances and just a second of time to make the accident happen.

Try to read todays (Sat.) LA TIMES

Glad to hear its back! The main reason for the accidents was CM error. They didn't get proper training no thanks to T. Irby. But he's no longer working in DL, so BTMRR probably won't be having any accidents until pigs fly.

[xfkirsten]

Im really glad to hear that BTMRR is open! I rode on it a week before it crashed and had a fatality in 2003. When I rode it, they stopped the ride because 2 teenagers kept standing up, they escorted them off the property and had the ride closed down for 2 hours to reset the system because of the emergency stop. It was the exact day a week later that it jumped the track and killed the man. I have nothing but great confidence in Disney that I am safe everytime I ride a ride at any of their parks. I know that they check their rides every day more than once to ensure the saftey of the guests of the park! Many of the accidents are due to "darwin error" (I like that analogy ) So unless you have a phobia of heights or fast rides, I dont think that you should be afraid! So RIDE ON!!! :kiss:
