Hope no one has shares, in Merlin (they own several theme parks).

To be honest, this really isn't a big deal. Rides all across the world breakdown all the time and this is only even a tiny story because someone got a bit panicky.

All dramatised as per usual in this country

Try telling that to the young woman who lost her leg last week...

We're discussing a malfunction not a crash....These crashes are as rare as you can get although one will slip through the net.Nobodys mune from a disaster that can happen anywhere at anytime and that's part and parcel of life.

Agreed - won't stop me going on coasters. Love 'em, and real 'incidents' are very rare, however distressing the Smiler one is for everyone involved. Strongly suspect once the investigation is complete human error will be to blame

Well at least no-one had to have their legs amputated on this occasion.

What a ridiculous thing to write. This story has absolutely nothing to do with the terrible incident on The Smiler and no where on this thread or any other that I've seen has anyone tried to belittle it. This story was about a ride that had a malfunction and someone got a bit stroppy so they thought it best to evacuate. Nothing more nothing less. I've been on dozens of rides that have broken down over the years and been evacuated a few times-no big deal.

Maybe it's time you considered dieting.
