At the foot of “Goliath,” the tallest new roller coaster in the Southeast, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety announced this May’s monster-crackdown on unbuckled drivers in Georgia! “The Goliath roller coaster goes 70 miles an hour! You wouldn’t think of riding a roller coaster without your safety restraint,” said GOHS Director Bob Dallas. “And yet, many Georgians go unbuckled and drive faster than that to the mall with only one hand on the wheel. Every time you see that Goliath roller coaster spiraling along the Six Flags’ Skyline, you should think about buckling-up safely on Georgia’s roadways, too!” Georgia law enforcement agencies on the roads for a major enforcement wave of high-visibility safety belt checkpoints and concentrated patrols from Monday, May 22 through Sunday, June 4, 2006. State law allows enforcement officers to write safety belt violation tickets simply by observing unbelted drivers or passengers. The message is simple too: If You Don’t Click It, Expect A Ticket! At the press conference, many witnessed an onsite demonstration of the eye-opening GOHS “Roll-Over Simulator” as our crash dummies showed the effects of a pickup truck crash when passengers don’t bother to buckle-up. Six Flags kept their roller coaster running as an active visual backdrop during the entire GOHS news conference and during television station noon live-shots.
