Georgia regulators probe Six Flags Goliath after fatal ejection
The Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia is set to reopen days after a fatal incident, according to AP News. However, state regulators in Georgia are continuing their investigation into the ride's condition. Newly released inspection records show that while the ride passed its most recent safety check in March 2026, inspectors noted that certain components, known as bushings, needed replacement. The victim, Hassan Kariem, was ejected from the ride during a family trip. His family has questioned whether the death was preventable, while the broader incident has sparked calls for stricter federal oversight of amusement parks in the US.
