Well, I guess I won't be riding the Texas Cyclone one last time this year. I just found out about yesterday's accident. I was toying with the idea of going to AstroWorld yesterday too, so this could've happened to me, if I had been there. Now I'm not so sure I even wanna go next weekend like I decided I would, but I do wanna get one last dose of SWAT this year, so I'll probably go anyway. But I'm gonna be alot more scared than normal!
P.S.: I'm really not sure if I should ride the Cyclone anymore either, even if it is open when I go. That ride has claimed more lives than any other coaster I know of. I don't know the exact body count, but I know it's alot higher than normal. At least 2 people have fallen out of it, and several employees were killed on it when they got the bright idea to sneak a few rides after hours, forgetting that they had switched the track to enter the storage shed, which at that time ended in an abrupt drop of about 25FT. They made the path to the storage shed and back a complete circuit after that, but that accident elevated the body count by several people at once, so the Cyclone my very well be the deadliest coaster on the entire planet.
