I appreciate that clarification, Dexter!

Jeffrey, I thought it was funny. The coasters can continue operating without interruption, except at Six Flags parks. :)

^ Where they continue to operate WITH interruptions... ;)

gator, obviously speaks Gibberish *and* English... :)

P.S. Jeff is right about the park chains having the infinitely deeper pockets, and obviously that has *something* to do with them being named in the lawsuit...but biting the hand that feeds you doesn't even come close to describing this situation. Magnetar is the only one I'd even heard of before...

Who patents rollercoaster brakes anyway.

Anyone that wants to make money.

What took them 12-13 years to sue?

Anyone remember the Sony Lawsuit over the dual feedback controlers? Did that company go after all the retail stores that sold them or just go after sony? I think they just went after Sony. *** Edited 3/9/2007 4:33:41 PM UTC by FLYINGSCOOTER***

Guys, I'm sorry about my last post. The real intent was to say this:

"Park operators should not be held liable. All coasters using the system can still be run without any fear of being shut down due to ptentional litigation. The ONLY execption is SF parks in which ride shut down for no good reason."

Am I being clear now?

It would make a nice press release come September... "Six Flags blames its latest losses on the fact they couldn't run the coasters in any of their parks without violating somebody's patent."

^shhhhhh, don't give them any ideas.
