I might have missed this earlier, my apologies in advance. How is the testing/inspection done in this area different than what is done in Kansas? Do we have state agencies doing the inspections and they do not? Or are there no requirements for daily inspections by park staff, etc?

I saw a news show in the last year or two at Six Flags that said park staff walk the tracks, run the rides w/o people, and then w/ park workers every morning before they open. Just trying to follow how this is different than what is done (or not done in Kansas).[/quote]

All parks do daily inspections like at Six Flags. Even the ones in Kansas. In MD, someone from the state inspects on an annual basis. [b]In VA, someone certified by the state inspects before operation.[/b] DC has no amusement parks. PA requires monthly inspection by a qualified inspector.[/quote]

Everyday a state worker inspects every ride? Or do you mean once before the ride is first put into use?[/quote]

In VA, someone [b]certified by the state[/b] inspects before operation. Does not have to be employed by the state. Most likely the parks have someone on staff who has taken the certification exam, who oversees daily inspections. [/quote]

Ahhh. Thank you![/quote]
