Since this was posted on a coaster forums but not on here I figured I should post it.

Nothing serious, but it appears EE was plagued with issues from the very beginning of cutting AK's bugdet.

Oh man, RIGHT after I posted something encouraging a nervous newbie to ride EE. Now they're NEVER gonna ride it!

Seriously, that's freaky.

Definitely Scary, but also a freak accident. things happen.

I was at Herhseypark on Friday and was evacuated from 3 different rides. It's just life

The pole fell, apparently in strong, rainstorm-driven winds, in the late afternoon, authorities said . . . how is that budget related. Things fall all the time in storms . . . .

I think because if they had completed the work in a timely manner, the light pole (construction lighting pole that had been sitting there for a long time, from what I've heard) wouldn't have still been there

I'm saying had they had there original budget EE would have never been built and therefor the problems would have never existed. that's all

Oh wow, that's scary! I'm glad everyone seemed to be okay.
