Our thoughts and prayers are with the guest and her family.”

Park officials did not release any additional information regarding the nature of the incident, or the girl’s injuries.

  15. Brittney Dwyer Carla ‘Rocchi’ Western

  16. Oh no :( my thoughts are with her family

  17. 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?

  18. So sad. My heart goes out to the family. Prayers too!

  19. Such a tragedy, praying for her family♡

  20. Kim Solomon Kim Solomon says:

  28. Dave Hilton Dave Hilton says:

    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.

  29. Wowww…tragic. …..prayers to the family! !

  30. 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.

  31. Leticia Mederos show Vivi.

  32. Prayers to this Poor Lil Girl & Her Family…

  33. 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!!!

  34. Irene Dlm Irene Dlm says:

    Heaven has gained another Angel. Rest in Peace sweet child.. Condolences to her family.

  35. 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

  36. Oh, this breaks my heart. Poor baby, poor family. :'(

  37. That will conclude our trips there Gary Hinde :(

  38. Peter Bishop Peter Bishop says:

    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.

  39. Magda Sayes Magda Sayes says:

    My thoughts and prayers to the family.

  40. Bill Webber Bill Webber says:

    Isn’t that the second one this month

    Monique Lucas Brianna Rivera JessicaAnn Fazio Crystal Fazio Johnny Rivera Chris Rivera

  45. Can’t blame the ride. I have been riding that ride since I was 7 or 8. A lot of us who were raised up here said lived at that park on rode those rides all summer long every year. That being said, Very sad story and my prayers are with the family during this time.
