A connoisseur's view of theme parks
Xcelerator Accident
Here’s video footage from where a cable snapped during launch of the Xcelerator roller coaster. The 12 year old in the front had minor scratches from it and the Dad was in a panic. It sounds like this was the same thing that happened to Top Thrill Dragster a couple of years ago. Hopefully this wasn’t caused by a lack of inspections, which is what I seem to remember being the cause of that one. I’m amazed they released this video footage of the accident.
And here’s a still shot of some of the debris.
