JACKSON — In the last six weeks, Six Flags Great Adventure, one of New Jersey's leading attractions, has seen four major attractions shut down after safety incidents. They led to three hospital visits for park guests.
Whether the incidents, coming in such quick succession, speak to any wider concerns about safety or worker training is unclear. Six Flags issued written assurances that its rides were safe but declined to make officials available to answer questions.
Likewise, the state office in charge of inspecting Six Flags rides — the main attraction for over 3 million annual visitors — has failed to respond to repeated requests to make officials available to discuss the incidents or what steps are being taken to keep visitors safe.
