“A STUDENT who
lost her leg in the Alton Towers roller coaster smash says the theme park’s boss
told her they were losing ‘a lot of money’ in the wake of the smash which left
four people badly hurt”
This was in the news
recently as Alton towers decide to reopen the ride after it crashed on the 2nd
of June. After only a few months after the accident, the theme park wants to
reopen the “Smiler” as they have been “losing customers and money”.
Personally, I think
that the ride should not be reopened until they find out exactly what caused
the accident in the first place. This means that they could potentially prevent
another accident like this from happening again. After one of the victims of
the accident spoke to the bosses, they revealed the ride was going to reopen as
they are losing money. I don’t think this is right as people have been injured
seriously and all Alton towers seem to care about is money. This gives a bad
impression on the theme park.
Going to Alton Towers
previously, a few months before, I thought that the best ride was the “Smiler”
and this is probably the same for others. I am not saying that the ride should
never reopened, but I think they have a duty to make sure that the ride is
100% safe and that they find out what happened before they open the ride.
Obviously a business
like Alton Towers is there to make a profit, so they want to open the ride as
soon as possible. But Alton Towers should take the time to fix problems rather
than trying to ignore them.
