According to various sources, a death and several injuries occured on Goliath, necessitating a park-wide closure around 4:30pm. Sources from the train say that the guest fell out of their seat and the restraint came undone.

EDIT: Please beware of massive exit-jams and traffic leaving SFOG following the park-wide closure.

EDIT 2: Radio clip confirms that first responders were told 3 total patients as they were dispatched to the scene.

EDIT 3: Edited post to reflect recently confirmed information.

I know this isn't Cedar Point, but it is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the chain is already in horrible financial shape. Accidents like this may push the entire company to bankruptcy.

The company that produced this ride also created GateKeeper, Valravyn, Rougarou, and Raptor. Up until recently, they fabricated all their steel track at Clermont Steel Fabricators near Kings Island. Kings Island's Diamondback, Orion, and Banshee were also made by this company.

Was at Great Adventure with a friend of mine today and Nitro abruptly shutdown at around 5/6 PM with no explanation as to why. I assumed it was because it had been evacuated earlier in the day but was told by an employee it came from management. Only later did I find out what happened at Goliath and put the two together.

Hello,

Planning to go to Fiesta Texas San Antonio during Halloween but wondering how full it gets. Is it too full? Long lines?

I’ve gone before on a Sunday and it was perfect but it wasn’t Halloween day. And now I want to go on a Saturday for Halloween. Let me know if you’ve done during Halloween before!

I have plans to take my 6 and 7 year old here this month (7yearold loves a thrill!) but with all the accidents of sorts happening at six flags as of late, I’m wondering if I should just cancel the trip and pick a theme park owned and run by a safer company.

What are your thoughts on Great America, San Jose?

I don't want Kings Island or Carowinds to getting ArieForce One, but it needs a new thrill major coaster like Vekoma for 2028 or 2029. I think AF1 could be Great Adventure for Shoreline Pier expansion in 2028.

The company has only gone down hill since the merger, massive cost cuts everywhere including safety sensitive things, it could happen again at any time at any park in the chain. The only way they make it not happen again is if it affects their pocketbook. Don't go to six flags parks.
