Not a rush

A number of people were trapped on a roller coaster at Ratanga Junction in Cape Town for a number of hours, in gale force winds. Woohoo, you wanted an extreme experience, you got it. The roller coaster will be repaired after an "internal investigation," and as an act of "faith" (I'm sure they meant to say "confidence") management will take the first ride once it's re-opened.

Somehow I don't think that's going to convince patrons. I'm sure management all went for a ride on the roller coaster when it had its debut, ages back. Force management to take a ride on the roller coasters at the end of every day, in perpetuity, and I'm pretty sure those would be the most carefully and paranoidly maintained roller coasters on the planet.
