Dang. That's screwed up. Horrible thing to happen.

Some lawyer is going to make a bundle off of it.

The Local 6 website says that it was only an injury, and that the victim is in fair condition.

I just rode that stupid ride and I was upset that it had such a violent drop. If I hadnt had good upper body strength to hold myself in, I would have fallen out. They have no business putting ANYBODY on that ride, ESPECIALLY kids.

A tourist was just killed on the new "The Mummy" ride at Universal Studios,Orlando......

Prayers for the family.

(Whatever happened to "quality craftmanship"? Doesn't anyone bother to "check out 'new equpiment' anymore"? Just asking....)

(Dang! The "ride" must've belonged to a "conservative".)

By the time this story got to print and the way it's being reported, the poor guy had fallen in front of the ride and was mauled to bits right in front of a home video camera.

Jeez, My family went on that ride a week before the grand opening in April. It was still being billed as "testing".

I hate most thrill rides but my kids loved it. Even my 6 year old who normally is scared of most rides loved "The Mummy".
