Someone hurt on Raptor?

I was just watching T.V. and there was a dateline commercial with someone saying "A day at an amusement park turns into disaster" with the POV footage of Raptor playing the entire time. Then my sister said her fiance said something about someone getting hurt on Raptor. I don't know if there's any truth to this but did anyone hear anything?

I saw this too, and I seriously doubt that it has anything to do with Raptor or Cedar Point at all, just probably running the only rollor coaster footage they could find.

But I guess we can watch Friday and find out.

Wonder if they're talking about the SFOT walkdown?

I don't mind when the media reports on amusement park/roller coaster accidents, but I am getting sick of them blowing everything WAY out of proportion. A day of disaster, when all it really was was a walkdown. A boomerang getting stuck, "no injuries reported of, yet". Give me a break!
no its friday at 9, i think
The woman said, "i don't want this to happen to anyone!"
They said this "famous amusement park", so that narrows down to about 10 parks, it might be CP!

Naaaaah! It's probably not at CP.

i tried to get some info form nbc.com, but they said something about "state goverments and reporting accidents, and it all may change after this womans ordeal" or some thing like that
I sure hope not! But yeah, that rollercoaster walkdown got WAYYYYYY to much media. Just ask Jeff how many hes gotten stuck. IT HAPPENS!
I'm scared to death of hieghts, and I would have trouble walking down from the Mine Ride, let alone a 245 ft high Titan.

Now, obviously I haven't seen the show, but by the promos for it, it has to be pro-Markey. I think Jeff should send his open letter from over on CB to Dateline. I would be happy to copy, paste, and send it, but it's not my work, and it's not my place to do that.

VOMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian and I were up talking late about this very crap last night...GOD this crap irritates me. Waking up in the morning and slicing your bagel is more dangerous than riding a coaster..BUT GOD FORBID HAPPY THINGS IN THE WORLD NOT BE REGULATED TO DEATH! Next thing you know: Politically correct, non-violent names for coasters!

AUGH!!!!! What drives me absolutely insane about all of this is how wildly uninformed the GP is. Its so completely obvious that they don't have the slightest of clues on how much safety is built into these rides. The discovery channel even has BARELY touched on it. I could go on for many hours on this one....
