Family awarded $60k for being stuck on Six Flags America's Joker's Jinx in 2014 for five hours

$10,000 per person seems about right to compensate for having to spend several hours at Six Flags America.

$2k/hr to be stuck on a rollercoaster?!? Sign me up! That's just ridiculous. Six Flags should've blamed their drop in revenue (or whatever it was) on frivolous lawsuits.

After about 2½ hours of intermittent communication with riders through a bullhorn, the park staff called the fire department for assistance, Helfand said.

Is there any good reason it took that long to call the fire department? Did it take 2.5 hours to determine they wouldn't be able to safely nudge the train?

I think I deserve $10,000 just for completing one ride on Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland.

Let's do the Time Warp again.

If these things were proportional, I should've been paid $14,000 for getting stuck on Shoot the Rapids many times...

And I sat in them pee pants ALL day

^^except on STR, I can almost guarantee you had an associate out there attending to your boat the whole time. That was one of the most difficult part of working that ride, keeping guests entertained during a shut down.

^ true. One of the times we got stuck an employee even did standup comedy.
