Luckily, he has regained conscienceness. This is at least the second time in the past year a painter has been injured or died while on the job on Six Flags property (the last casualty being a death at Over Georgia I believe). While an outside contractor was performing the work and they would be cited for any safety violations (if any), not Six Flags, do you think Six Flags should still make sure the companies they hire for jobs like this pass their own safety inspection? I do. Even though it wasn't their fault, it still makes Six Flags look bad. Not that bad, but still a little.

I agree with hiring safer companies as well, Twixmix. At least this worker is okay afterwards.

I refuse to believe they are finally painting Chang :)

I'm going to have to go down and have a look for myself, well that and process my $42 season pass.

At least the painter seems to be okay. I would like to see more jobsite security, I believe that employee safety is even more important that compay image.
