Power Outage Strands Six Flags Riders High on Roller Coasters

On May 16 afternoon, a park-wide power outage halted rides like the 245-foot Titan mid-climb, forcing guests to walk down elevated catwalks under staff guidance. Six Flags called it an internal electrical issue, with no injuries and the park reopening the next day at 11 a.m. along with free return tickets for those affected. While online videos drew jokes about AI data centers nearby, officials confirmed no connection, noting standard safety protocols handled the evacuation smoothly.

imagine having to tell kids that there’s a power outage at the six flags bc the data center down the street is sucking the juice right out the roller coaster so they have to go down these super safe non scary stairs. wait we don’t have to imagine. there’s a data center 18 mi away https://t.co/yk8CMzM8mm
