Six Flags has temporarily closed nine roller coasters across six amusement parks. The news came Monday after one person died and several others were injured in an incident involving a coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, near Atlanta. A spokesperson for the park says they closed similar attractions across their parks “out of an abundance of caution." Officials did not confirm how the person died or what caused the others to be injured. A Six Flags spokesperson says the park and local authorities responded immediately and that they are fully cooperating with local authorities as they investigate. This death would be at least the seventh at the Georgia park.
