Cedar point breaking news.?

I got the "cedar point breaking news" email as an alert to the accident at the park today. This is my first breaking news email from the site since joining about 6 months ago, what others urgent messages have you received messages for?


Top Steel: New Texas Giant
Top Wood: Timberwolf (don't judge me..)

A news outlet online is reporting that a boat on STR slid backward down the first lift hill and flipped, injuring all the people onboard. Extent of injuries unknown.

Also reporting that a woman was killed on the Texas Giant coaster yesterday.

It sounds like nobody has died. I hate to say this, but we are due for a death at Cedar Point. When will it happen? Hopefully not next week when I'm there. I can't stand this waiting. I also predict that due to stupidity of people now a days, the death will be caused by someone doing what they are not supposed to be doing.

Well, I for one hope there's never a death at CP.

Uhh, rapids.. I'm asking which OTHER alerts you have received.

I've been on the site for about a year and this is the first alert I've ever gotten.

Really? I thought Walt sent out breaking news alerts for the Gatekeeper announcement, also for a few other notable fast moving events.

Yes - we usually have a couple of these a year. Also, the same list also receives our occasional newsletter, though it's been less than occasional lately.

Email alerts over the last year include:

May 8, 2013 - live coverage of GateKeeper's media day

August 13, 2012 - for the 2013 announcement

May 30, 2012 - breaking news on Space Spiral removal
