  • Videos captured riders descending the 245-foot-tall Titan in a single file, gripping railings as they made their way off the attraction.
  • A Six Flags spokesperson confirmed that all parkgoers were safely escorted off rides, provided with complimentary return tickets, and operations fully resumed within approximately two hours.
