Look at Disneyland most of their rides costs someone's life and they are still working to this day (expect the Skyway)

Huh? Most of their rides have cost someone's life? MOST???

Yes aware of Big Thunder, but that wasn't multiple incidents, which the OP seems to be suggesting is the case in these fictional Wipeout deaths

People think it has happened because people are gullible, plus they don't understand amusement rides in general. They think that they're in actual danger, when in fact they aren't. I'm actually surprised by the number of people I know who think that rides are dangerous.

My advice, agree with them. People like that don't deserve to be part of the 'knowing that rides are safe' club. Let them be scared while you sit there enjoying the ride and pissing yourself laughing at them fearing for their lives.

Sounds like a good idea! I'll do that next time :)

whoever told you this OP get them and slap them across the back of the head :lol:

There are quite a few people who believe that! It's crazy how these falsified rumours spread!

No this is not true. Who told you this?

No one on here, just some other people that I know.

I could be wrong, but Disney has a lot more media power, resources to put a strong media spin and buy the direction of certain media outlets & their stories.

I'd hazard a guess that any ride on the Gold Coast or in Australia for that matter that a technical/mechanical issue (as opposed to operator error) directly caused a death would close down for good. Hopefully we don't have to ever see that happen, but that's my opinion.

It was a HUGE deal in the media at the time.

A high profile company killing people is going to get coverage, even when they own media.

It was especially a big deal when it came out that accident was caused by shoddy maintenance.
