Yet another Knott's incident!!

The night before last (12/26) when that cold wind started blowing, a 30 foot tree fell while guests were in the park. The tree was located at the Calico Mine ride and fell all the way across the pathway taking out a portion of the fencing at the log ride. Luckily nobody was hurt. I wasn't working that night but I did see the pictures taken by one of my co-workers. Pretty gnarly!!

Re: Yet another Knott's incident!!

I'm just hearing about this right now.

Why is it if the exact same incident happened at Disneyland, not injuring anybody, it would be blasted on the national news the minute it happens?

Re: Yet another Knott's incident!!

It was a tree though - nothing that Knott's did mechanically speaking......more like an 'act of God' - you know?

Glad no one was hurt.

More excuse for Cedar Fair to remove more trees and replace with yards of concrete and trashcans

I know the water ride incident was in 2001. WHen was the boomerang one?

The title just suggests this stuff is happening on a regular basis, that's all.

Wasn't that her own fault though for not putting the restraints on properly?

I know this would defy logic, but when I picture what the drop must of been like, I imagine the boat going down, while the lady shoots up about 20 feet.

No. Actually that proved the restraining devices at the time, did not work well on overweight people. The report said shifting weight could cause the seat belts to not hold back the person.

That situation was ruled faulty device not user error.
