    This is the second time a ride has malfunctioned in that exact spot. The Scream'n Eagle was shut down and replaced by this very ride because a safety restraint kept disengaging mid ride.

    I almost fell out of the black spider ride as a kid at Oaks Park. My brother saved my life by holding onto me. I’ve never trusted amusement park rides. There was another ride at Oaks Park where I was freely tumbling around inside a cage that kept turning. I kept screaming on the top of my lungs for the operator to stop. He never did.

    My friend and I went to the wa state fair last summer (2023) and she and I both almost flew out onto the classic coaster during the initial drop and after we cried and held on to the bar trying to keep it down and we both had bruised knees and mine were cut open it was instant impact trauma I thought my knee was broken but I was also a bit embarrassed so I wanted to play it off like I didn’t just get hurt when getting off but we had no seatbelts unlike others around us and when we went back this spring the car we sat in wasn’t open to passengers. We didn’t even complain or anything cause the ride operators were all really rude that day. We felt like burdens just off the bat and were talked down to by grumpy operators . We are a lot more careful and mindful about ride safety and risk factors we no longer have this blind comfort level like everything is safe because so many people do it.

    The scream at six flags here in Massachusetts did the same thing years back in like 99-2000 there was a really big guy that went on the ride before I did in the exact same seat and he took up two seats in the seatbelt. They had a hard time getting the bar down over him on the ride, called the scream. It would shoot up like a rocket or a bullet like 0 to 60 seconds well when I got on the ride right after he did it shut up and I heard the metal bar like snap and it flew up and I almost fell out of the ride, scaring the crap out of me. I could not breathe. They had to call EMS upon me landing down.😢 I was hanging on for my dear life I almost fell off the ride

    You’d have no idea how long you’d be stuck and if your body would even make it when you’re so high up in the air. Your head would start pounding and filling with blood and it’s almost like you’re watching your life end before your very eyes if you were stuck long enough. That would be one of the most traumatizing experiences imaginable
