Unsafe ride at Seaworld Orlando evacuated today

[RedAngie]

Probably clickbait like all ears does… I wasted 30 seconds that I will never get back.

Yeah, minor ride breakdowns and evacuations sometimes even make local TV news. They always over exaggerate the situation.

Very few stand up coasters exist anymore. Most parks got rid of theirs years ago.

A few of them got converted to floorless models with new trains from B&M. Rougarou (Cedar Point) and Firebird (Six Flags America) are 2 examples of that conversion.

That sounds like a good way to utilize the tracks from tired obsolete rides.

Again, not sure how serious this thread is, but ... you are far more likely to get hurt driving to a theme park than on a ride.

Coasters are, per mile covered, far safer than cars. And, as pointed out above, B&M's (Mako's manufacturer) have an impeccable safety record (Fabio's nose notwithstanding - although that was more of an ornithological rather than engineering issue).
