I’m not even going to get upset. I’m just going to ask why the Sentinel has this article jammed waaaaay in the back of the front section while Disney warranted a major headline every time.

Disney had more park guests killed this year, yes, but isn’t ANY ride-related death news right now? Are they the only theme park(s) who are allowed to look bad in the press? It almost comes off like a bias toward Busch Gardens. Let’s not kid ourselves–Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a local theme park. This deserved more prominent coverage than it got.

In case you’re wondering, this short staff report is considered the follow-up story. Seems that heart problems were to blame again. As a casual observer, I sure would like to see a death and injury total like we did for Disney…I bet it would be enlightening, and might even make Disney look better by comparison if we can see how often this happens in a “regular” amusement park.
