3 this year huh? lol, and i thought LIMs were supposed to be MORE expensive hehe.

Lol, dragster opened a few days ago, i even posted it in the accident discussion. To my knowledge the cable hasnt been modified, and i dont think it needs to. The chance of this happening twice is slim and the injouries were VERY minor, they were overplayed by the media and the victims to get $$ out of it. Which I dont really blame them for...I mean they DID get hurt afterall.

[gouldy]

perhaps it would be better if they just strapped rockets to it [^][approve][lol]

That's even more expensive. What if they blow up? Wouldn't work, but I know you were just joking.

ANY injoury on a coaster or another thrill ride is unacceptable. Even if the only injoury is from a small piece of plastic flying up and giving a rider a small mark on his arm, it's too much! Coasters are desinged to be safe, and any deveation from that should be emediatly delt with. It doesn't matter if they where seriously hurt or not, they got hurt riding something "safe".

I don't blame them for sueing the park, but I also don't blame CP for not modifying the launch-system. It wouldn't be worth it, since it was a freak accident. Dragster IS a safe ride, and an accident like this is highly unlikely from what I know about it.
If this should happen again, I will change my opinion, but everything points to the fact that dragster is safe (despite the single accident), meaning more accidents or more severe injouries are not to be excpected and not likely.

finally reopened, whoo-hoo!!! [launch]
