What happened to Son of Beast?

Ok. There are so many topics on this already and you made another one?! Wow. No one knows what happened yet(well someone knows, just not us).

a lady burst a blood vessel in her head and reported it to the park, and just for safety reasons they shut down the ride until they can figure out what caused it to happen

Gee....I hope tey dont close it down for good. It might give headaches but tearing it down is losing 3 records.

The search button is your friend

^give him/her a break, they've only been on the forums for 10 minutes

Thank you!!! But is that what really happened. Just because someone gothurt doesnt mean they should close it. Well it depends.

well, when a burst blood vessel in your head can cause death, i think it might be best to figure out what caused it.

wELL you have a point

Three?

Height, speed, and pain?

I hope the woman is ok, and that she recovers fully.

Last night on the news they said that there is a goverment investigation going on now. why would the goverment need to get into something this small?

A brain hemmorage is no small matter..

"The Ohio Department of Agriculture" I thought agriculture was for plants. I would not know this since im going into 8th grade next year.

How long did the inspection take in '06? Because this inspection sure is taking a while, it's been closed for 7 days now.....

I'm not even sure that SoB ran for the rest of the season after the 06 accident...

I don't remember that well though..

Yes, agriculture is for plants. But the way I understand it, the way the Dept. of Agriculture inherited ride inspections is this (and someone please correct me if I've been misinformed regarding the history of how the Dept. of Agriculture got ride inspection duties): There are a large number of state/county/regional fairs and festivals. Lots of these fairs and festivals are agriculturally based. So the Dept. of Agriculture has a large interest in these fairs and festivals. And what, besides cows, pigs, sheep, pumpkins, tomatoes, etc. are at fairs? Rides! So the Dept. of Agriculture was placed in charge of inspecting these rides. The inspection duties spread to cover amusement parks as well.

The ride reopened July 4th 2007.

^but that was mainly because they retracked alot of the track and removed the loop, wasn't it?

Yes, the Ohio Department of Agriculture oversees the inspection of amusement devices. The division has their own building at the Dept of Ag compound near my home in Reynoldsburg, OH. The old building actually had a sign on it that said "Ferris Wheel Inspection Division," but their duties have obviously grown since then.
