This is so Sad, I heard people asking why the Superman was shut down.I am surprised this was not on news.
My guess is, perhaps the news did not want to sensationalize it. People have heart attacks every day – and the news does not mention them. To go with a story, “Man has heart attack at Six Flags” – would not be fair to the park. I have just updated the post – there will be a memorial service September 20th, in Andersonville.
Chicago Fox Morning news did mentioned Scott Barnes death. My partner and I asked an employee, why the superman wasn’t working. He did mentioned about the death. I didn’t believe it at the moment. I’m sad to hear this story.
