Four hospitalized after chemical exposure at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure

That sounds like something that should have some type of backup be it battery or generator.

This park seems to suffers from lots of power outages!

Didn't they have a similar chemical reaction in their waterpark last year as well?

CPLady, that was Wyandot Lake in Columbus, Ohio...but almost the exact same situation with their Christopher's Island.

It's strange they just did a MAJOR overhaul on the filtering system this past spring. I know this new one is more powerful than the old one which could have lead to this incident.

SFWoA and chemical spills go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Or at least one would imagine based on the stench over by B:KF.

Another power outage at SFWoA. I wonder if all the toilets backed up again!

Deja Vu at WoA.

Now tell me Cedar Point is running out of space.

There is a power outage in the Northeast so don't blame SFWOA. *** This post was edited by CedarPointRocks 8/14/2003 7:58:01 PM ***

If these are dangerous chemicals they should have some back up power. Like Cedar Point does so people don't get stuck on top of the Millennium Force. Plus this has happened before so you would think they could get it right the second time. I think it is their fault.

Maybe you should eat your words. In today's power failure they needed to manually ratchet the drum to pull the train over the top of the lift.

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

I just don't understand why there wouldn't be a system set up which would stop the use of the chemicals in the event of a power failure. Like a simple tank, it could be hooked up so the gas would be released into the tank and be contained.

Funny that after that huge power outage we all suffered apparently SFWoA didn't lose any power, yet this time it was CP.

So THAT's why it was closed when we were there this week. The employees weren't releasing the info when we were there. First time at the park, and I must say it sure is a "different" type of Six Flags.

Wow, that's twice SFWOA has had a chemical spill. It was on the Amusement Accident Database. Now all they need is a clone of the original Rattler *Wink*
