"With No Safety Oversight, Six Flags Will Investigate Roller Coaster Death Itself," says a U.S. News headline that we totally could have written. Does it surprise you to learn that this death trap of an unregulated roller coaster is in Texas? No, of course it doesn't. Does it surprise you that there are absolutely zero elected or appointed officials charged with coordinating the legislative, bureaucratic, or legal ramifications of such a death? No, it is Texas, so this too is unsurprising.
I was there on a high school band trip in 1972. Couldn't ride anything though because I had dropped acid that morning. Still had a wonderful experience. I had no idea so many people dressed up to go there; it was like the bar scene in Star Wars.
I hate to break the news but USA Today is completely wrong. Texas Department of Insurance (I know, an oxymoron) does required licensing and an annual inspection of amusement rides. It&#039;s another law where you pick your insurer, you pick the inspector. But I did want to clarify that USA article is inaccurate: <a href="http://www.tdi.texas.gov/co..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.tdi.texas.gov/commercial/indexamusemen...">http://www.tdi.texas.gov/co...
But hey, move to Texas, ya&#039;ll, because <a href="http:\/\/www.texaswideopenforbusines...\/ca.php" target="_blank">it&#039;s open for business!</a>
Governor Perry will soon be making a commercial to entice theme park businesses to come to Texas where he will claim the laws of gravity are not regulated.
He&#039;d probably be worried about being being misidentified as the ride.
INPEACH!
but they still have to pay for parking
New slogan for Six Flags - Are you brave enough to ride the killer roller coaster?

You think that ride is unsafe? Don&#039;t even go near their chili-dogs.

I knew there was no way a Fabio joke wouldn&#039;t have already been made. Curse work. Curse it!

Just rename the ride &quot;The Abortion Clinic&quot;.
Texas will Shut. That. Shit. Down.
<i>Six Flags Will Investigate Roller Coaster Death Itself</i>
Six Flags will then find they did nothing wrong, but the passenger did - so their insurance company won&#039;t soil itself.
And besides, every roller coaster should have a potential body count. It just ups the &quot;thrill factor&quot;. Duh.
Governor Perry will soon be making a commercial to entice theme park businesses to come to Texas where he will claim the laws of gravity are not regulated.
