I just saw at Coasterbuzz and on the FOX news that riders were stuck on TF: FS at SFA. It must be big because it was on a Chicago news program. Any one know any more on it?

by **sfgamPiMP** on July 1st, 2003, 8:39 pm

i cant find that on coaster buzz

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on July 1st, 2003, 9:19 pm

I don't really think it was big news, because that happens to every coaster. I also saw a small part of it on TV, nothing special.

by **CoasterDave316** on July 1st, 2003, 9:36 pm

Yeah its really no big deal, happens all the time. If only they covered every vekoma rides break down, they wouldn't have enough TV Time.

haha true that

by **coastrcorey** on July 1st, 2003, 9:48 pm

LOL... Why are they making a big deal of this? I just saw it on our local CBS news station... I can't believe that they had this stupid thing on the news, but I never saw anything about TTD... Dragster is a much bigger deal than this. Lol.

Top Thrill Dragster? You mean Top Thrill Disaster, it didn't cause the "horror" and "drama" of causing people to sit in seats for 1 1/2 hours sitting at a 45 degree angle. Oh the horror!!! I loved how MSNBC said that it runs 2 trains and has 30 curves, 4 loops and one corkscrew. They were reading the stats off the six flags site, and on the six flags site it has jokers jinx's info for Two face lol. Lots of crack reporting being done, or reporters on crack you choose.

Haha... That is hilarious!

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on July 1st, 2003, 11:31 pm

Lol.. yeah, it is.

the one coaster i wouldn't want to get stuck on at the top of the lift hill would be superman.i wouldn't mind getting stuck on TTD though, right at the top, it just stops. its a slim to none chance but if it happened what would they do, send the new guy up 420 feet and make him push it with a broom handle :roll:

It just goes to show you that my uncle is right when he says the most reliable and important news is delivered by the Daily Show... Otherwise, it's sensationalized non-news.

by **keg5651** on July 2nd, 2003, 11:02 am

Haha...yep.

by **coasterzak** on July 2nd, 2003, 9:06 pm

No big deal, it got stuck, OH NO! They even read the wrong statistics... I knew that screwed up SF site would come back to haunt them one day.

by **Timmy179** on July 2nd, 2003, 9:13 pm

ahh its been awhilei dont see why they made such a big deal of nothingYou got it im back

supperman is easy to get off if you get stuck they bring a elevater thats probaly 10 feet by 10 feet. I wish i got stuck it would be fun.

by **T_Biggs** on July 4th, 2003, 10:26 am

Yes, we all want to get stuck. That way, we don't get to have a good ride, but rather waste time sitting in a seat waiting to be unloaded in an akward position. :lol:

by **coasterzak** on July 4th, 2003, 11:39 am

But, you get an awesome view of the park. I'd love to be stuck, personally.

by **T_Biggs** on July 4th, 2003, 12:10 pm

It used to sound cool to me, but after thinking about it, I'd rather have a ride on a ride, not a walk on a ride, and if I want a view, I'll ride Sky Trek Tower or Giant Drop. Plus, on many coasters, the view wouldn't be the greatest. The only good ones to be stuck on for a view would be high on Bull's lift, Eagle, or Shockwave, but thats gone. The other ones I don't think would be tall enough to get a view worth not riding for. I know you wouldn't get much of a view on Batman, unless you're front seat, Wolf, because it faces the ride graveyard, Superman, because you face the ground, Whizzer, because you're surrounded by trees, or Viper, because you're far away from everything and it's not very tall. Demon might be ok, you wouldn't be very high up, but you'd be facing a good portion of the park. Otherwise, there are very few chain-based coasters that would be worth getting stuck on.

I saw it on my news too. They were like, "these rides were stuck upside down 200ft in the air for almost 4 hours", I am like, "thats crap!"

by **dejavukid17** on August 5th, 2003, 3:51 am

I seen that on fox too.. but i dont have any further info.

by **tacoking1664** on August 5th, 2003, 10:07 am

The news programs are just looking for stuff to talk about. Anything that is half intresting they will say.

by **SearchforRB12** on August 6th, 2003, 1:36 pm

I got stuck on S:UF at SfOg back in March. I was actually scared looking straight down at the ground :lol:

. We were stuck for about 15 miutes 3/4 of the way up the lift.
