Six Flags and other amusement parks original closed any drop thrill ride after the horrible accident which severed a teen girl's legs above the ankles last week. But after this weekend, the Big Business operators of the parks focused on making money again:

• Six Flags didn't waste any time to re-open the Drop Zone thrill ride at Six Flags Great America. Great America's Droz Zone ride is manufactured by Intamin AG, the same Swiss firm that manufactured the Tower of Power ride that severed the teen girl's legs in the Six Flags accident at Kentucky Kingdom last week.
