that would make me sick

how long was this at pki didnt a lady die from this ride

I rode this ride with a buddy who decided that he wanted to have the controls. I hated every minute of this ride! I didn't feel safe in it at all! The harness seemed very loose compared to the same type in the coasters. The person died by falling out of this ride the following season. I was not surprised when I found out.

I don't remember this ride. When was it active?

1991-1996 I believe.
A woman named Candy Taylor fell out of the cockpit of one during the 1991 season on "Black Sunday". KI's worst accident day ever.
She was intoxicated (alcohol level being .30) and supposably passed out when she was spinning the ride over to the upside down position. Well she ended up slipping into the EMPTY seat next to her and falling out of the ride 60 feet below..
I am sure those waiting in line and around that saw it were traumatized by the horrific accident. Someone that was there that I talked to said she actually "bounced" once when first first hit the concrete then hit it again. :(
The ride was close the rest of the season, then opened back the next year with the ride modified. There was a larger divider between the two seats, and the ride wouldn't let you stay upside down for very long. It had a timer on it. KI removed it in 1996. They said the lines to the ride were never that long after the accident..
About 45 minutes earlier 2 men, one being a security guard at KI got electrocuted in the beer pond because of a faulty pump.
Sad day indeed.

That looks like SO much fun. I never had a chance to ride it.
I wish they would design something similar and put it in the same spot.
I am so sorry that there was so much tragedy that day. I think a lot of people are frightened by this ride. It's a shame for KI and of course the woman and her family.
KI had a great record for safety. It was all so unfortunate.

My mom was working there on that day of the accidents. the guy who "fell" into the lake was actually drunk and decided to go for a swim. the security guard and the guy's friend are the once who died in the lake. then she said about an hour afterwards is when the lady purposely sliped out of the restraints. she knew what she was doing and then fliped the car upside down. the lady didnt pass out though. kings island tried to cover it up saying that 3 ppl died in a different way then what they really did.

i remember the ride i did not fell it was safe enough for me to step foot on it. its kind of scary walkin past the platform where it was at night....

where was this ride located and what is in its place now??

I was just asking my husband if he remembered this ride! I rode it with a friend when I was about 10 yrs old. It was VERY unsafe. Definitely too much control for a 10 yr old to have. We almost slipped out!
