Woman falls under Diamondback train

Featured Replies

 So I'm on the girl's twitter feed now, and there are employees of the park commenting on the thread saying they either witnessed or heard about it. I guess it's legit maybe... anyone can say anything they want on the internet it seems.

Maybe she was unbluckling the seat belt and missteped between the trains. 

There is no way (unless you do it untentionally) you fall under the train while unbuckling. I think she was looking at her family and thought she was going into her row, but in reality was going between cars.

The crack between cars is quite small. Still could fit someone, but an awkward fall. 

I remember last year some kid jumped the queue fence when the whole the train was leaving and Diamondback immediately stopped.

While it's not a huge space, there is definitely space for someone to step in there. When working the ride, I accidentally stepped down there, I didn't fall, but definitely had my leg go down in the space.

My first thought was "that poor lady." She must be so embarrassed right now. :/

Well...there is a pic.  On the twitter account of @kailyn_miles.  "Kail" described the event in her post.  The reporter in the now removed link did contact Kings Island and if I recall correctly, Kings Island acknowledged the event.  What is the standard of proof for allowing the topic and who decides?  Is it up to the whim of the moderators?

Yes, there were pictures. That was the joke!!

The moderators on here haven’t made any implication that they want to remove the thread. I don’t think anyone is doubting that the incident happened. Why the news agency removed the article is news to me, but I don’t think anyone is doubting its validity.

Is the consensus that having bins really helps you with time between getting in line and the time you dispatch the ride?

I don't buy this completely either. I'd imagine they like getting the additional revenue from the lockers.

If they can convince people that it's to make the line move more quickly, that's an extra bonus.
