[Oscar]

News reports state that a staff member was injured on Duelling Dragons this morning before the park opened. The staff memeber was taken to hospital. Park officials won't confirm what happened, but say they are doing they can to assist the staff member and the family. The ride remains closed today.

where did you hear that? and whats up with inverted coasters and accidents?

Whats up with people (even ride ops) being stupid and not respecting the fact that a coaster is a HUGE DANGEROUS mechanical device capable of killing you if not respected?

I heard it on TV and on the Internetzzz!!!!@!@!!!

Word is SixFlagsFiesta trained that employee (just kidding but possible)

Ooh, burrnnn [:P]

Hmm, sounds like another careless ride employee [:(]

I say if they don't respect the ride, let them get what ever is coming.

I found some info. Not anything too new, but whatever.

In one way or another they will pay. If someone else gets gurt they usually get the medical bills and/or jail.
