Six Flags America Accident - Two Face Coaster

[Blizz]

So did anyone else hear about the coaster accident earlier today. A coaster called "Two Faced" at Six Flags America in Largo, MD (Prince George's County) got stuck in on the first lift hill with guests stranded 200 ft. in the air.

About 1 1/2 hours later guests were returned by the coaster being put in reverse using the emergency systems built into the coaster's system.

Two Face was built in 1999 and had a flawless record. Rescuers told reporters that they had trained with Six Flags staff for a rescue on an inverted coaster such as this in case of such emergency.

I saw it on MSNBC while it was happening. I don't think it was a 200 ft. coaster though. They were reporting just over 100 ft.

ya and I don`t think you could even call it an accident,noone got hurt,all it did was get stuck and they eventually got it down.

Well thats how the media was talking about it.

In truth I believe that coaster is only around 165 ft. at its tallest point.

Well, here's the Story . Six Flags America is a s-hole and has been a S-hole ever since it was Adventure World and Wild World before that. Its like one of the worst amusement parks i've ever been to.

According to the local news, within the past month the PG County FD did a rescue drill on the same coaster. No one was hurt, fortunetly.
