That was the worse news report I think I've ever seen or read! Stupid Americans!

Coaster Royal Easter Show. Due to an electrical fault a procedure was in place to evacuate patrons. Patrons were in communication by phone the whole time with management and explained the evacuation procedure.The procedure involves a second lift cable which transports the car to the top of the ride and the ride runs through its normal cycle, approved by TUV germany.Their was no problem with patrons after explaining the procedure and procedure was put in place.Emergency services took control of the situation and the italian manufacturers engineer was prevented from performing the operation.The emergency services used their procedures to evacuate the ride.

Media here would still go berserk, no matter if all the correct procedures were working or not

OCS, Glad to hear the proceedure on the Evacuation process of the ride. Without people like you, we wouldn't always know the full story. It's amazing how much the media can blow things out of proportion, And I know how much it can tarnish a reputation of a ride and sometimes even a whole company.

It's actually hilarious, the Herald Sun had a small article on the coaster, with a photo, and it said the car was stuck upside down.... um no idiots, if you look at the photo they were stuck at the bottom of the lift... exactly!

Hahaha.. I just went to the Miami-Dade Fair Last week, on its last day! Sucked it Rained half the day!
