I got stuck on the top of Giant Drop for 20 min once. Terrifying, yet kinda cool at the same time.

^ Wow I would have gone insane. When I rode Drop Zone the anticipation at the top really freaks me out. But it is a sweet release to fall. Back on topic, why did they report on this? Doesn't the news leave stories like this alone unless it was serious, or was it?

The news made a big deal out of SFA's Two Face ride getting stuck for 20 minutes last year.

I always said that I would be able to stay cool and calm if I ever got stuck on a ride but that all changed when Giant Drop came! I'd be freaking!! Whenever I see people stuck at the top I always feel panicky and get sweaty palms and it's not even me stuck up there!!!

They do this when they have nothing better to do news on, they must have had no other news articles to cover, so they find the small things and report on those.

With all due repect to the man who passed on and his family in their time of mourning, which I'm sure is very tough on them, heart attacks happen. Odds are this would have happend if he were at home, out shopping etc...
That really isn't that news worthy, a small blurb in the newspaper, maybe.
At the local casino my girlfriend works its a regular thing for heart attacks strokes etc... to happen.Anytime you get a large group of people together a few a bound to be in less then perfect health.

Maybe it was a slow, slow news day and they didn't want to report the death at SF. HA!

Giant Drop, I think I would be OK if it got stuck at the top. I mean...as long as I'm not upside down, I don't get too freaked out. I think I would get more freaked on BTR, or one of the other coasters that go upside down....a couple times on Power Dive, I went into a panic.
