The Six Flags Texas Rollcoaster Tragedy!

Rosy Esparza pictured here died in horrible tragedy in Texas. She died on a ride at Six Flags in Arlington, Texas.

A woman died while riding on a rollcoaster in Arlington, Texas. The Six Flags Over Texas is located about 14 miles equally from the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex.


We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Rosy Esparza.

The woman was sitting beside her son when she fell to her death after something went horribly wrong on the rollcoaster she rode on.

There was talk that she was concerned about the seating and the restraint. But somehow the Six Flags ignored that concern and the proceed on the ride.

Somehow the woman fell upon the turns and fell about ten stories to her death.

The woman and her family first visit to the Six Flags Park makes this tragedy even more sad. They didn't expect this thing to happen on a joyous day.

The Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star Telegram has done extensive coverage of this tragedy.

According to the Dallas Morning News, there was an outpouring from across the nation.

Her son on his Facebook page described his mother as adventuresome and said she had been having a good time at the park.

The Dallas mother died Friday evening when witnesses say a restraint came loose and she plummeted to the ground from the Texas Giant, a hybrid steel and wooden roller coaster.

Family members of Esparza confirmed her name but said they were not ready to comment further. One family member said an attorney had been retained to represent the family.

But on his Facebook page, her adult son, Amado Esparza, wrote in Spanish: “I’ve never discovered a day as long as this one. It’s very sad that I lost my mom, but I’m happy that I was able to enjoy her to the maximum while she was alive.”

Neighbors in their southeast Oak Cliff neighborhood said Rosy Esparza lived with her husband, Antonio, Amado Esparza and a teenage son. The couple also has at least one daughter.

One neighbor said Antonio Esparza is a preacher.

Maria Padron, one of the family’s neighbors, said Rosy Esparza was very religious and frequently invited people to her home to study the Bible.

“We cooked a lot for each other; anything you can think of we made for one another,” Padron said.

“Tamales and rare Mexican espresso was our trade. I’m going to miss those simple days of just hearing her knock on the door.”

Padron said Rosy Esparza was a “woman who lived for her family.”

Alfred Cannon, another neighbor, said he had been talking to Amado outside the family’s home Friday and had asked him to work on a water heater.

He said Amado said he would have to do it later because he was headed to pick his mom up at Six Flags.
Later, he received text messages from Amado about his mother having died at the amusement park.

“Her belt went lose and she flew away,” one of the text messages said.

The investigation could take months to determine what happen and the necessary means to prevent this from ever happening.

I wonder if Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) aka Governor Oops will do something about it!
