A horrifying tragedy unfolded Monday at Six Flags Over Georgia after a man reportedly fell from the park’s massive Goliath roller coaster and died, triggering an emergency response and forcing terrified passengers to evacuate the ride while it was stopped high above the ground.

According to WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News, a man reportedly fell from the Goliath roller coaster, one of the park’s largest and most recognizable attractions.

Witnesses described the horrifying moments surrounding the incident, although authorities have not yet confirmed exactly how the victim fell.

Witness Cody Alcorn told local outlets the man “fell and hit the car three different times.” He added that the falling victim was captured on their souvenir photo from the day: “He was in our pictures.”

The Goliath roller coaster was subsequently stopped, leaving other passengers stranded on an elevated section of the track.

Aerial footage captured by WSB-TV’s NewsChopper 2 showed riders being evacuated from the attraction four at a time as emergency personnel responded to the scene.

Six Flags Over Georgia confirmed the tragic death and released a statement expressing condolences to the victim’s family.

The park said:

“We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the guest’s family, friends, and loved ones. We are also providing support to the guests and team members affected.”

The company added that park employees and local authorities responded immediately and that Six Flags is cooperating with investigators.

The park declined to release additional details about the victim, citing the family’s privacy, and directed further questions to the Cobb County Police Department.

The Goliath roller coaster is one of Six Flags Over Georgia’s signature attractions.

According to the official Six Flags website, the massive steel hypercoaster reaches a height of 200 feet and speeds of approximately 70 miles per hour.

The ride, which opened in 2006, features a 170-foot initial drop, another drop of 175 feet, and a 540-degree spiral. Riders can experience forces of up to four times the force of gravity.
