I wonder what seat she was in when she got crushed, :/

@lovinustinks588 If I remember correctly the lady wasn't actually on the ride, but was under the roof either waiting in line or seeking shelter from the storm, when the roof collapsed

This ride is way too fast! I got so sick on it. Every time we went around the turns, I would shut my eyes and hold my breath. The G-forces were incredible! I thought it would never end. I hope the new company that bought Kennywood slows this ride down!!

[kpdave]

I'm sorry that you were feeling ill after this ride. The ride has been going at this speed ever since I was little (I'm 51 now) and probably for a long time before that. I doubt that the new company will do anything with the speed. They would have to do something physically with the motor or drive system to slow it down since its not computer controlled.

i was really young when the roof fell. didnt it crush some lady? was it a tornado that blew it down?

[kpdave]

Not a tornado but a Micro-burst. Very strong downdraft of wind but in a straight line, not like the twisting of a tornado.

Ya some girl died wen the roof collapsed. my family didnt let me go on that until they said that they werent gonna rebuild the roof

[whoisthisguy724]

This ride is awesome, it's just a shame they never re-built the roof, and that they changed the cars from that cool pattern to what they are now, solid colors with "Whip" on the back of them

9 years ago today that the roof came down

[DIMATIF]

Slow... Slow... TOKYO DRIFT!!!

@kpdave she was by the building not under it, plus it didn't collapse a piece of roof hit her. The tore it down.

[patricknedz]

didnt the company that built the roof get sued over thing collapsing? 

[patricknedz]

@braden307 they wouldnt slow it down because then people wont get the thrill, of the ride and it would get boring

[lovinustinks588]

Awh, thats so sad. ):

poor lady. lol

[kurizzos]

Kinda blows that the Gold Rusher was shut down.

And the last time I rode it wasn't a good memory;

I went on it with some girl who kissed me with her bad breath.

Much love to the Gold Rusher though...
