Close Call on B:TR

if she was 53' that probably wouldn't hurt her to go on

Nope, not gonna happen.

I don't think that it was the girl who was "stupid", I think that it was her parents who were INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE. You DO NOT leave a nine-year-old alone, while you ride the ride. That's why Six Flags has that parent-swap program... so someone can stay with the kid.

The shame of it is, if that kid some how had managed to get onto the moving train, it would have been the ride-ops who the parents would have been screaming at for "not protecting" their baby.

I feel so bad for the ride-ops... I know, working with the public sucks!

^ I totally agree. If something *had* happened, there would have been a big deal on how the operators weren't doing their jobs, and so on...

Kudos to the Batman crew. Good job being able to act fast when something like this happens.

How can you say its the parents fault when you werent there, you dont know if they were even in the station.

[mschulz5]

If they weren't in the station, I would even blame them more for not being with their daughter. When you have a 9 or 10 year old they should never be too far away from you, especially in an amusement park. I know this, personally. When i was 8, at SFStL, I got lost and was very upset.

[InsaneNewman]

^^ Thank you... my point exactly!

Obviously whoever she was going on with continued on with their ride leaving her alone.. parents, aunts, uncles, brothers.. whoever. The fact is that SOMEONE left a little girl alone in the station and that is just wrong. If she's as little as it sounds to run after a moving roller coaster I would guess that she would be way under the age of 9. At 9 years old you would be able to recognize that what she did was dangerous.

[Timmy179]

Yes, who knows she could have been 11 or 12, I may add i romed SFGAM alone at age 10 *my parents trusted me) And her parents could have been waiting for her at the exit.

[punkbunny24242]

No Timmy I completely understand what you are saying.. at 10 or 12 years old one would know better then pull something like that. What I was saying is that obviously from her actions she must have been much younger then that and if she was then she should not have been unsupervised and whoever left her alone would be at fault.

[Timmy179]

Yeah, I guess I see where YOU are coming from, Wow, just imagine what would have happened if she were to get onto the seatand the ops didnt realize it until the ride had begun up the lift.

I'm locking this topic because only one person in this forum saw this happen and people seem to be thinking that they saw it happen. Even that one person might not be 100 percent correct. Don't forget, they have cameras everywhere in Batman's Station, that is the only true story teller. (Not calling Galvan a lier)
