I try to avoid the truly stupefying facebook-comment-section-type discussions this kind of incident always triggers, but it does make me sad to see the general public radicalized against B&M clamshell restraints. Without question the very best roller coaster restraint ever designed.

You'd love the park pretty close to me. It has a pretty sweet gigacoaster and so much more. 😊 (and the Halloween event is so fun there).

Word is Kumba's Revenge is gonna be a B&M gigacoaster like Fury 325.

Carowinds should definitely do an RMC conversion of Hurler if so, because they're going to need to be able to offer their flavor of Kumba's Revenge paired with Iron Gwazi to compete.

I mean, the first few games started with rollercoaster stages and then went into earnest platforming.
Halfway through the game I'm all "where did the cool shit go?"

And you're right, there should be a Sonic gigacoaster. Some Fury325 type shit with sound effects.

To add to the Fury 325 hot takes: Leviathan is much better, and may have the best first thirty seconds of any gigacoaster.

Omg saaame! I haven’t been to Great Adventure since Halloween 2019, but when I rode KK then, we had a rollback. So I can see why the ride’s not performing as great due to its age. I’m just sad to see it go!

Wish they’d add in a gigacoaster instead but it is what it is.

Yeah, I went on Fury 325 as my first ride of the day, it's the world's tallest fastest gigacoaster. 😊 It's worth trying at least once.

I'm just the type I'd rather sit on a beach when I'm old saying "I used to do that" vs "I wish I could do that".
