There are 32 stuck on The Invertigo at Great America! They have rescue crews working to get them out right now! That would really stink! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster.

I heard on the radio that they were all strapped in fine.  And that the stranded were NOT upside down, but rather at a 45 degree angle: http://www.mercurynews.com/portlet/article/html/render_gallery.jsp?articleId=13031694&siteId=568&sta rtImage=4 http://www.mercurynews.com/portlet/article/html/render_gallery.jsp?articleId=13031694&siteId=568&sta rtImage=5 _________________ I don't like a certain company so everything they do MUST be wrong, even if it's right.  And that makes me look like a bigger fool.

Not Great Adventure in Jersey. It was on an Invertigo (inverted boomerang). They were stuck on the lift. _________________ Katie

Every year it seems like there's a problem with the lifts on these things and it doesn't surprise me that no one has purchased any more of these models. I wonder how much longer KI and CGA will keep theirs. Maybe Kings should pull theirs out this winter when Son of Beast comes down, it will save them from having to rent a crane twice.

They were stuck up there for several hours. The only one that was in the news the most was Two Face at Six Flags America. They've since removed theirs. This is the first I've heard of the one at CGA. Does anyone recall any incidents on KI's? _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.
