2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

ok guys....hot off the presses....apparently a roller coaster enthusiast was checking out the roller coaster "the raven" at holiday world in santa claus indiana (yes....its a real place) www.holidayworld.com apparently they decided to enhance the ride by unbuckling themselves and trying to stand up.... as the park spokesman said on tv..."20 people started out on the ride....19 returned.. you can verify this by checking with any local tv station in the evansville indiana market.... this just happened saturday night 5/31/03... and this person WAS a member of some roller coaster enthusiast group doing a review on the roller coasters at the park!

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
I take a group of kids to an amusement park at least once a year, and I have not seen a roller coaster I could get out of since I was a little kid. Unless this roller coaster is an exception, she must have been a houdini to get out. I would prefer more info, but I think the readers deserve a look.

Maybe Toss: Other
I thought that I had seen a write up on this in my local paper, but I couldn't find it in the archives. I agree with Bert - we need more information and a better write up

Maybe Toss: Not Amusing
it just doesnt contain that Certain amusing spark.

I don't know how you _can_ unbuckle -- aren't those things locked down by the operator? Particularly on new coasters... Need more verification.


Bert said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
I verified from the park's site- She's dead allright, but no specific details on how she came to leave the coaster- Needs more info and a better write up.
