Six Flags Over Georgia reopening excludes Goliath coaster

Tomorrow, Six Flags over Georgia opens its gates for the first time since this week's deadly accident. We don't know yet what turnout will be like. Or where the investigation stands for that matter. Fox 5's Kevin Stewart has the latest from outside the park. Friday at 6, this park will reopen for the first time after this tragedy. There will be some heavy hearts and some people just won't be coming back here again anytime soon. A car draped with a balloon and flowers sits on the fence at Six Flags over Georgia. It says, hoping time will do its part to ease the sorrow you are feeling. It is a tribute to Hassan Kareem, the man who died here, falling off the Goliath roller coaster. Four minors also injured on the ride. Now, several investigations are unfolding. The state, the amusement park, and the ride manufacturer try to figure out what happened. My major concern is that it might happen again. And that's why feelings are mixed as the park reopens Friday at 6 p.m. for Fright Fest. But not Goliath, no word on when it will again. Grandfather Bernard Smith has taken his grandkids here a number of times, but not again, anytime soon. Until you find out exactly what happened. In fact, the family is trying to shield its children from what happened here. They're jotted away from it. They don't even know too much about it, you know what I'm saying? But the adults in the family, we've been talking about it. So how do you talk to kids about this tragedy? Children's Healthcare of Atlanta says wait until you're calm and expect questions you don't know the answers to. also find out what they already know keep information simple and developmentally appropriate validate your child's feelings and encourage youngsters to focus on what is within their control by taking deep breaths and thinking about ways they can keep themselves safe still Jackie Smith a grandma eagerly awaits the investigation because she's always had concerns about Goliath they need to have better safety protocol there's no way around that they to have people that are qualified to make sure that the rides are locked because i've been there when the rides are not locking but they'll let you get on there so if you're going to ride the ride they need to make sure people are really checking the safety protocols but i'll still go back i mean i like roller coasters so i would definitely go back we have reached out to the park and the insurance commissioner trying to get a better sense of how the investigation is going what is the process but so far we have not heard back but tomorrow Cobb County Commission Chair Lisa Cupid will be addressing the media. Of course, we'll have that for you. But for now, we're in Cobb County. Kevin Stewart, Fox 5 News. Oh, yeah. A lot of questions following that incident. Kevin, thanks.
