PKI "Top Gun" Response

I doubt that it would help them any if at all, it's roughly 50,000 a train, thats not nearly enough to keep them on their feet.

Look what I found on 13abc.com

That seems to be an official statement to me. I guess it should now be submitted as news.

Nope Jeff will say its a fake website... I think it was way more than 20 miles per hour.

Taken from a different website.,.so that's two..

(Tuesday, July 16, 2002) - At Paramount's Kings Island theme park in Cincinnati, Ohio, a roller coaster train crashed into a parked maintenance truck during a test run before the park opened. There were no passengers in either the truck or the roller coaster, and no one was injured.

The accident happened on the Top Gun roller coaster, a suspended coaster whose trains feature cars that hang below the track. An employee mistakenly parked the maintenance truck in the path of the ride, causing the accident. The damaged train was removed from the track and the ride was later reopened with its other train running.

It's on The Associated Press's news line for any Publication or news show who subscribes to AP to publish. I think you'll see it start popping up in numerous places as news but probably not as any big feature, after all most press would find it a bigger story if there were injuries involved. I suspect we'll see it here as news, when it gets updated again. I think Jeff has said in the past that he does not update news on the weekends.

Just so you know, in The Cincinnati Enquirer today, in the AM Report of the Metro section, it had a brief article that cited Jeffrey Siebert regarding the Top Gun accident. It stated basicly all that has been stated and added the silly comment that the cars will be repaired and inspected before they are placed back on the track. (duh!)
