[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all has me thinking a little differently about amusement park rides.  I just assume they're safe!  Understand there's a risk to everything, but this is so not worth it.  WTF[/quote]

I am rethinking Disney, which is probably absurd but I am so horrified by this and have a 10 year old son.[/quote]

I had a bad experience with two rides at Disney decades ago.  Add to that the alligator tragedy and that's it.[/quote]

+1. When you rely on a business to do required maintenance and safety inspections themselves, you run the risk of them not being done as well or as often as they should to save money. Disney failed to do this in the past in the Thunder Mountain Railroad and Columbia Sailing Ship deaths, http://www.themeparkinsider.com/news/response.cfm?ID=1389.  Now they are doing noticeable cutbacks at the US Disneyland and Disney World resorts, http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201604/5017/. Disney is about appearances and they have become reactive instead of preventative. As with any theme park or carnival, observe and be aware. If you don't like the way the ride looks or sounds including the kinds and use of restraints, attentiveness of the ride operators and attendants to each passenger and height/weight requirements, skip the ride.
