Thousands of Georgia residents headed to Atlanta’s iconic Six Flags amusement park on Monday, October 12, to enjoy the federal Columbus Day break, but some left with traumatic memories instead of happy ones.
Witnesses saw a tragedy unfold on the Goliath roller coaster shortly before 4 p.m. when a father was thrown from his seat, struck the ride car three times, and fell onto the roof of a haunted house below, losing his life.
The horrifying incident was captured in souvenir photos taken by a visitor.
