It is a safe ride and I think that Anakeesta handled everything the best they could. They had no control over that person and her actions. Anakeesta is innocent in this. Prayers for her family and the community

Very sad, but never thought it was a ride problem. Obviously the young lady was not well. Sad, sad. Praying for her family.

Right. Several years ago, a man jumped from the Space Needle in downtown Gatlinburg. He did not survive. The attraction was closed for investigation and re-opened with a few more safety enhancements, I believe. However, it is not the fault of the city because a man wanted to end his life over a fraud conviction and did not want to do his sentence.

I thought about mentioning this. I remember hearing about it when it happened. It's just one of those things you hope never happens, but sadly it does.
