Evan SchultzHOST
But as of right now, the following rides will be closed this weekend, or at least mentally prepare yourself for them to be closed this weekend, and if not, great.
Evan SchultzHOST
That will be Diamondback and Orion at Kings Island, Thunderstriker and Fury 325 at Carowinds, Behemoth and Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland, Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure, Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America, Goliath at La Ronde, which actually I'm realizing now was one of the Enchanted Sale parks, but I believe it is still closed regardless.
Evan SchultzHOST
And then obviously Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia.
Evan SchultzHOST
I don't know if that ride ever will reopen, and if it does, it'll probably be much longer of a waiting period than the rest of them.
SethHOST
These, we've got a kind of a detailed list kind of describing the history of all of these coasters, their statistics, and we'll update you as these are inspected and uh, possibly reopened.
SethHOST
Um, you also got, uh, Goliath, uh, had a clone at La Ronde, uh, which is no longer owned by Six Flags.
SethHOST
That's up in, uh, in Canada.
SethHOST
But, uh, because it's, um, closely related, that is also temporarily closed.

Nine of the roller coasters taken out of service have the same manufacturer and a similar restraint system as the Goliath at Six Flags.

Canada's Wonderland closing two of its roller coasters, the Behemoth and the Leviathan, in the wake of a fatal accident Monday near Atlanta.
Heather WrightCORRESPONDENT
La Ronde in Montreal also temporarily closing its Goliath roller coaster after a man died while riding the Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia.
Heather WrightCORRESPONDENT
Several others were injured.

He turns sideways and he's flipping in the air.

If you can meet the standard to operate safely here in Ontario then you can meet the standard anywhere.
Heather WrightCORRESPONDENT
Now both the Behemoth and the Leviathan here at Canada's Wonderland do have secondary belts that were added to the rides after they were installed.
Heather WrightCORRESPONDENT
There is no word as to when these two rides or the one at La Ronde in Quebec will reopen.

Jay RosenthalHOST
Sure.
Jay RosenthalHOST
Following the fatality of a 42-year-old man on a Six Flags roller coaster in Georgia, Canada's Wonderland and Montreal theme park La Ronde are shutting down similar rides at their parks out of a precaution, including the Behemoth and Leviathan coasters at Wonderland.
Jay RosenthalHOST
Six Flags didn't officially confirm the cause of the patron's death, but other park-goers reported seeing him fall off of the roller coaster mid-ride.
Alex BlumensteinHOST
Yeah, I don't go on roller coasters.
AlexHOST
Because, like you said, we never really appreciated it before, but you walk up to a Batman clone, and we've ridden a lot this year.
AlexHOST
Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags St. Louis, La Ronde, um, obviously Six Flags Over, um ...
AlexHOST
Did I say Six Flags Over Texas already? [laughs] I don't know.
AlexHOST
We've ridden, like, seven this year.
John MooreHOST
Uh, Canada's Wonderland, we were talking about this yesterday, but it's, uh, become a bigger story apparently.
John MooreHOST
Uh, two rollercoaster rides have been closed at Canada's Wonderland, also at La Ronde in Montreal, and actually at all Six Flags properties across North America.
John MooreHOST
That is because in Georgia, there was an incident where a man was thrown from a rollercoaster that is similar to the one that is here at, um, uh, Canada's Wonderland, and he died as a result of his injuries.
John MooreHOST
And it's, uh, what a horrifying situation.
VinnyHOST
Okay.
ShannonHOST
So the Goliath, uh, here at La Ronde has now-
VinnyHOST
Yeah
ShannonHOST
... been closed, because it's the same kind of ride as the one at Six Flags.
