So we went too big bear California and we found this place called the mine shaft coaster. It's a coaster that seats 2 people in each cart and you can control your speed and when too stop and go. I usually hate rollercoasters because I get anxiety when I can't control something and most roller coasters you are strapped down and you can't control anything, so I was interested in this ride. This was also during the time when everything was closed (in September 2020) so we wanted too finally do something ever since the pandemic started. So buy the tickets and get in line to go on the ride and they make sure too ask everyone's weight. Me and my girlfriend are still under the weight limit so we are good too ride with eachother. She goes in front and I'm behind her and the brakes are on each side, push down too go and back up too stop. So we are riding this ride and it's really fun and I'm not anxious at all, and then comes the turn.....I legit see my girlfriend fly out of the Cart in slow motion right before my eyes and I immediately stop the Cart. All I could hear is wailing and bloody murder screams and I'm thinking the worst, I couldn't see her because I was stuck tightly into the Cart from the seat belt. For the next 2 minutes I'm trying too wiggle out of this damn Cart while thinking omg what if she's cut in half or what if she's dying this very minute because of how loud and horrible her screams are. I finally manage too get out and I run along the railing towards her. Thank God its none of those and there was a chain link fence that was spread from under the track around the turn. She was Definitely bleeding alot, she got scalped a little, she was impaled in her leg by sometype of metal or rod, her heel was purple and blue and later on I would find out it was fractured, and that she had a head contusion and had really bad road rash all along her shoulder and back. So I try too grab her because we are still a good 15 feet in the air and I'm scared the fence might break but when I grab her and pull a little she starts crying and screaming harder so I decided too go run for help because she was pretty entangled into the fence. I climb down the railing and I go up the mountain just a little bit till I see the building or tower that we had too pass with an employee inside who tells people when too stop and go. I yell and scream for help and finally he sees me and radios for help. While that's happening a mother and daughter stop there carts behind us because o

The boys talking about Class Action Park on PKN made me remember a story that became local legend in the suburbs of Boston. In the 90's there was this indoor amusement park called Bonkerz that was really shady. In 97 a little girl with long hair got on one of those spinning chair swing carousels, her hair got caught in some machinery, and she was fucking scalped. The place was shut down and she got like 8 million dollars and everyone in my elementary school knew someone who knew someone who knew the girl who got scalped. Anyone else have a shady local amusement park growing up?
Was the zipline an amusement park ride?
