Some amusement park riders near New York City say they were traumatized when a ride – going backward – would not stop.

Someone is going to sue this park out of existence.
It's designed to go backwards

most times people complain because the ride is too short. Now they complain when it's too long?
It went for 3-4 minutes too long per news byte. That is nothing.

What are they bitching about? They got a free ride.
Yea article said it ran 3-4 minutes longer and that traumatized kids?
I would have been thrilled as a kid to get an extra 4 minutes on a ride
Now 20-30 min would be different but this was basically the equivalent of riding it twice

3 or 4 minutes longer???? That's it!?

This reminds of the sopranos episode where Paulie went cheap on the maintenance for the rides at the parade

Isn't that how you make tiger butter?

I love how they canvassed for victim impact statements for the story and all they got was a teenage girl saying “I mean someone could get dizzy.”

Oh and I’m sure someone on that 4 extra minute ride will wind a 10$ million lawsuit

They've always done that stuff.

It ran three to four minutes too long and people are giving stern interviews like they just saw a train derailment smash through an intersection or something.
Holy hell the softness of the new generations

So you clearly didn't even read the story you linked.
Properly trained operators would have been shown these.
OTOH, if someone had annoyed the operator, he could have just decided to leave the ride running a lot longer than he should have...

I took my kid to Six Flags Georgia a couple of weeks ago. Their biggest coaster is called Goliath. It's pretty awesome. But when we went on it stopped dead about a 1/2 way up the 200 foot beginning incline. We sat there for a couple of minutes and it was scary as frick. Then that shite dropped/jerked backward a few feet and when I say people were freaking the frick out I mean it. Then I guess the operator said "YOLO" and sent us on our way (probably no safe way to back it up at that point). I've ridden it several times but this time was nerve racking to say the least.
When we got back they had emptied the line and shut down the ride.
I wouldn't say I was traumatized, but definitely had some sweaty palms for a few minutes.

I'd say there's a difference in being stuck on a 235 foot lift hill on a roller coaster and being on a child's spinning ride that's at ground level.
