    Everything written in the Daily Mail and RT sounds terrifying.

    The quote from the woman in the indo article (presumably in the above ones too) is great saying how she had just got off the ride when the crash happened, then turning all roller-coaster engineer and saying it's dangerous and shouldn't have been running in the bad weather, obviously implying that was the cause.

    Also the indo reckon it's 650km long. Youd be on it for hours :)

    Not surprised tbh,
    Roller-coasters always had their ups and downs

    Is there no end to the depths the Leave campaign will plunge to?

    I live 5 minutes away from the park itself,it's a death trap that should have been closed long ago,3 accidents in 2 years yet the owners,M and D still run it,the rides they use at the so called funfair are not even second hand,thankfully there is no serious injuries or fatalities,the ambulance service was in the park within 10 minutes.
