Comments for Family Humiliated, Forced Out of SeaWorld After 10-Year-Old’s Ride Seat “Malfunctioned”

A group of people, seated in rows, ride a blue roller coaster at SeaWorld as it twists on a track with teal supports. The riders appear excited and animated despite the overcast sky watching over them at an Orlando theme park.

    That’s ridiculous, that girl was never in ANY danger and her mom just had to make a big stink and sensationalize it. Everyone who knows anything about roller coasters can tell you that the comfort collars are pointless.

      I wouldn’t have known shit about COMFORT ANYTHING on a roller coaster! And as a mother of a 10 year old girl, I can’t imagine the PANIC of seeing a flapping strap from my daughter’s harness!!!!! Give me a break! Raise a stink??? I would’ve brought HELL TO EARTH if I thought my daughter could have been killed!!!!!!

    So they were escorted out because it was closing time, not because they complained?

    I never got to the purpose of the story because of all of the pre-stoey about rides. I’m not even sure where the story took place.

    Is this what burying the lead means?

  4. Story is not coming through. Does not report who, what,or why. Silly

  5. I am writing regarding the sea world roller coaster event that recently happened.
    My son worked for sea world parks for about two years, but was fired this year for reporting a safety issue on a ride and stopping it temporarily to have it serviced. Before he reported the safety issue, he was warned by one of his co workers that he would be reprimand for reporting ABC stopping the ride.
    The park says their top priory is guest safety, but it’s not. Their top priority is money.. Employees are told to their faces and in public to report any safety issues, so they can prove they’ve “covered they’re bases”, but behind the scenes, employees get reprimanded for doing so.
    This is why the roller coaster a still running after this girl reported the concern to employees. The employees are afraid to stop the ride because they don’t want to lose their jobs.
