Six Flags Over Georgia: Goliath coaster stays closed as park reopens
A man was ejected from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia and died after falling. The incident prompted Six Flags to close multiple roller coasters across North America, and raised questions about the safety of increasingly intense amusement park rides. State officials found no violations in the most recent inspection of the ride. The park has since reopened while authorities investigate the incident.
