NBC5.com is now reporting that the 52 year old worker hit by Ragin Cajun on May 29th has died last night. This is just absolutly horrible. I was there that day in line but we were not sure what had happened. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Whoa....I didnt ever find out what actually happened and didnt know it was so serious

My condolences to the family. Now I'm assuming we can talk about it? Truely sad, it should have never happened and I hope its prevented in the future. This is just so wrong for this to happen.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****
?
My condolences to the family once again, and Im assuming now that its gone public, its ok to talk about, just dont be stupid. Around the world and back
So whats going to happen to Ragin Cajun?

I started this topic to voice my condolence to the victims family. It was never ment to have ANY bad intentions at all. Just thought I would clear that up with you if I upset you by starting this topic.
It was made public, we are allowed to talk about it now.
I don't think it had anything to do with the coaster right? Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
It was a human error, not a ride malfunction.
Around the world and back
Exactly, still very sad and it could have been prevented. And dont start saying, "bleh bleh here come rumors this is gunna get locked" this is to give condolences to the family and out of respect.
Wait, Hold on a minute. Why do we find out now that some one got hurt. Why didn't we find out on May 29 or the 30?

The park didn't want it going public, but now it has somehow.
Maybe they thought it would spoil the whole grand opening of the ride. Ah Ha

Maybe Sfgam didnt go public because they hadnt contacted the family yet, believe me SF wasnt trying to "cover" anything up.

That's just speculation, something im going to have to ask people to refrain from doing in this topic. Even if you did witness what happened on May 29th. My condolences to the family of the man, and to everyone at the park who knew and worked with him. Go Bulls!

"Maybe Sfgam didnt go public because they hadnt contacted the family yet, believe me SF wasnt trying to "cover" anything up."
3 weeks is a little to long for the authorities to contact the family :/ There is no doubt it was because of opening of the new rides and they didnt want to have the media saying "Here is the new Ragin Cajun, on a side note, yesterday a mechanic was seriously injured" as that is what the media would have done.
Their main concern was th well being of this man, not media, Why would SF want to cover up something, they didnt cover up the SCREAM! worker incident, why would this be any different. Around the world and back
My prayers are with the family. That is so sad. Hopefully it won't happen again.
I hope the family is alright, and I feel bad because I saw him get hit by the train and fly back, it was a scary incident. Again prayers for the family and friends

I noticed that have put a fence around parts of the ride; I suspect this is because of the incident. I noticed on Media Day how they would just walk right through the ride while is running, which is kind of dangerous.
