I really hope all are ok.
Way too early thoughts on the situation: (100% could be wrong)
- Looks from the videos took that one of the cars separated from there bogie making it off center from the track along the curve and pulling over cars with it. I thought I saw multiple bogies still on the track which is a bit confusing.
- I'm going to predict this was 'caused' by a structure failure of a passenger car.
- I'm assume the train was not going very fast when it happened maybe even closed to stopped
- This couldve been a lot worse injury wise
- I doubt the train runs again without either refurbished passenger cars or new ones.
- Terrible PR hit for SDC - Probably it's most rode attraction and now everyone will question if its safe and if the park is safe
Side Note - Ive heard that train has had a history of robberies....maybe they should investigate some of the folks who live out in the woods?
