what happened
Six Flags Entertainment shares fell 10.8% in after-hours trading on Monday. Seeking Alpha reported the decline after news that one person died and several others were injured in an incident involving a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia near Atlanta.
The circumstances of the death and the causes of the other injuries have not been disclosed. The company said its employees and local authorities responded immediately and that it is cooperating with officials as the investigation continues.
Videos posted online showed passengers being evacuated from Goliath. The ride drops guests 255 ft and reaches speeds of 85 mph. Last month, Six Flags Magic Mountain in California said it would retire its well-known X2 coaster after several lawsuits alleged that the ride caused serious brain injury.
why it matters
The share-price reaction indicates that the incident has become a significant corporate event for the market. Investors will focus on the authorities’ investigation and its findings, as the available information does not yet clarify what happened.
