Tragic loss….; 0(
Oh no! This is devastating!!!! My prayers for this little girls family.
Sad prayers up for her family and friends may god comfort and give strength to all
Beto Haro :(
It was actually on Friday afternoon, not Saturday as the article states. We were there over at Hurricane Harbor when the chopper flew down.
Very sad. My condolences to the family.
Must have been a separate incident that you witnessed because this was reported on the news on Friday. Maybe you saw helicopters from the fire Saturday.
It was definately for the accident at the parks as the chopper landed right there on Friday afternoon. We came to the park at opening Friday right after my daughters class graduation.
The article notes this incident occurred at the park on Saturday. That’s not accurate as the fire was what was the only incident on Saturday over around Castaic.
Happened Friday. She passed Saturday.
The article says it occurred Friday @4:22 she passed away Saturday.
buhh! Vanessa Vargas
Gina Wileman is this the incident you were talking about?

Such a sad update to a story I was hoping would have a happier ending. So sorry for the family..
So very sad
Let me know if there are any more updates on this. I’d really like to hear the autopsy results. This is so sad.
So sad…prayers to family & friends.
So sad. Prayers for her and her family.
Alisyn Walsh. Season pass shredded
Well that’s just stupid
Jane Jessica Brooks -.- wow
Friday afternoon, and the girl’s name was released in the Signal version of this story. http://www.signalscv.com/section/36/article/138531/
Very sad…deepest sympathy to her family.

OMFG. That’s so insane.
OMFG. That’s so insane.
OMFG. That’s so insane.
I thought it said it happened Saturday but it was Friday
Oh no :( my thoughts are with her family
I remember when I was shorter. That ride would make my head shake around a lot between the safety bar and I’d get off with sore ears. Maybe she had an undiscovered brain aneurysm that burst with the impact…Or could someone literally be scared to death?
Probably an unknown condition like an aneurysm like the person on Goliath about 10 years ago.
So sad. My heart goes out to the family. Prayers too!

That ride is bumpy as all Hell! I’m kinda hoping this accident promos them to redo the ride! Somethin need to be done with it! My heart goes out to the family!
Really? That’s the first ride and our last ride, as a season pass holder, I have never found Revolution to be that way. Other than clearing some debris I don’t agree. But, nevertheless, Prayers with this poor lil girl & her family.
It’s bumpy for me but my hubby says otherwise too! Maybe I’m just bad at holding my head still! And I can agree with the tree debris! That’s a lil sketchy sometimes
He’s also pretty tall so he fits a little better!
Horrible
So very sad…prayers to her family♡
So sad …
Her name has been released.

Something had to have been pre existing. Kids that age are so risilient the is no way revolution did that. Green lantern maybe. I thought my head fell off on that one. Prayers go to the family.
Green Lantern hurt my balls and I am a female, therefore I have no balls. Lol
Wowww…tragic. …..prayers to the family! !
I have worked at six flags and I can say myself some of those old rides are not sad at all. We would have to ride them at least 3 times a day for test purposes. There has been time when my and my co-workers would do the test ride and come back saying I have a ringing in my head. The old rides are not safe. When we would try to tell our supervisor, they would laugh it off.
Wow Sevan, that is horrible. Maybe the Season Pass holders should get together and petition for some changes to be made. That is crazy. But,then again most supervisors are douche bags.
Yes your right, the only this changes is from the people who attend there park. Once the people stop attending then they will listen
Leticia Mederos show Vivi.
I did,, she said ‘I guess I’m not going to magic mountain for a while’ how sad!!! Omg.
Prayers to this Poor Lil Girl & Her Family…
I have read a lot of the comments & maybe its time that we all write to Six Flags addressing the changes that need to be made and what not, that is crazy that they as Employee’s of Six Flags can’t walk through the park and or go on rides and realize the changes that need correcting. I have been a Season Pass holder for years and have made my complaints loud n clear, can’t say that they have been thoroughly addressed, but maybe if we all started ringing those phones off the lines with complaints, just maybe then, they will listen… First Ninja, now Revolution, something’s gotta give and the People Should Demand as Paying Customers to be Heard!!!

Heaven has gained another Angel. Rest in Peace sweet child.. Condolences to her family.
Jessica Osorio omg!
How sad and very devastating for her family and friends.. amusement parks are not going to be easy for them in any way due to this loss. How heartbreaking..sending love and prayers
Oh, this breaks my heart. Poor baby, poor family. :'(
That will conclude our trips there Gary Hinde :(
Then don’t go to Disneyland because people have dies there too
Wow
My understanding of roller coasters is that there is no regulation on how they are built. So the amount of G’s your pulling is up to the designer and the theme park owner. I wonder how bad it is on your body.
My thoughts and prayers to the family.
Isn’t that the second one this month
wow that’s crazy I left 6 flags that day at 4
My prayers to the family
I hate those rides for a good reason. RIP
