周一，佐治亚州的一家六旗游乐园发生类似事故，导致一人死亡、多人受伤。事后，加拿大仙境乐园也随即关闭了两座过山车。
Canada’s Wonderland has closed two roller coasters after an incident on a similar ride at a Six Flags in Georgia left one person dead and several others injured on Monday.
据该乐园发言人格蕾丝·皮科克介绍，名为“巨兽”和“利维坦”的两座过山车于当天起暂停运营。
The Behemoth and the Leviathan were both closed on Monday, according to Grace Peacock, spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland, which is owned by Six Flags.
皮科克表示：“为谨慎起见，我们暂时关闭了旗下各园区中所有类似的游乐设施。确保游客与员工的安全始终是我们最重视的事项。”
"Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily closed similar attractions across our parks," said Peacock. "The safety of our guests and team members remains one of our highest priorities."
目前官方尚未公布死因及伤者情况，科布县警局重案组正在展开调查。至于这两座过山车何时重新开放，目前尚无确切时间表。事发后，六旗集团亦下令旗下六家游乐园共九座过山车暂停运行。
Officials did not confirm how the person died or how the others were injured. Detectives with the Cobb County Police Department’s major crimes unit are investigating. There is no timeline as to when the rides will re-open, Peacock said. Six flags closed nine roller coasters across six amusement parks on Monday following the incident at Six Flags Over Georgia, about 24 kilometres northwest of Atlanta.
虽然官方未指明出事的具体过山车型号，但当地电视台播放了乘客从名为“歌利亚”的过山车上疏散的画面。
Authorities and Six Flags also did not identify the roller-coaster. However, local TV stations showed video of passengers being evacuated from the Goliath coaster.
资料显示，该过山车于2006年启用，最高时速可达113公里/小时，最大高度达61米。在约3分半钟的行程中，乘客将经历急转急弯并飞跃巨大的山丘。此次事故是该游乐园近年来发生的至少第七起死亡事件。
The roller-coaster, which opened in 2006, reaches top speeds of about 113 km/h and heights of 61 metres, the park's website reports. During about 3-1/2 minutes, riders "navigate through razor-sharp turns and soar over colossal hills," according to the website. The death on Monday would be at least the seventh at the Georgia park.
而就在不到两周前，位于加利福尼亚南部的六旗魔法山游乐园也宣布将停用著名的X2过山车，原因是有多项诉讼指控该设施导致了严重的脑损伤。
It also comes less than two weeks after Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Southern California, announced that it is retiring its famous X2 roller-coaster amid lawsuits alleging serious brain injury caused by the ride.
