A 17-year-old boy was killed by the Batman roller coaster at a Six Flags amusement park in Georgia on Saturday after entering a marked restricted area. The teen was struck and killed instantly by the coaster after scaling 6-foot fences marked by danger signs.
"The areas where the individuals entered were clearly marked with signs that stated 'Restricted area/Authorized personnel only' and a sign on a locked gate that read 'Danger zone. Do not enter,'" a spokesperson for the park said in the statement.
The theme park remained open on Sunday while the ride was closed for investigation. Early reports are that the teen was trying to retrieve a hat that he lost after riding the Batman ride himself earlier.
