US theme park operator Six Flags shuts nine roller coasters after man dies

One person has died and several others were injured in an incident on a roller coaster at a Six Flags park in the US state of Georgia, prompting the company to temporarily shut nine similar rides at six of its parks on Monday.

A Six Flags spokesperson said the attractions, which resemble the coaster involved at Six Flags Over Georgia, were closed “out of an abundance of caution.”
