And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

My day is Friday, August 26th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. Several people suffered injuries and five were hospitalized

after a roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey malfunctioned at the end of the ride, the amusement park said.

The El Toro roller coaster had a minor accident. My favorite roller coaster. We're just talking about it. Yeah.

Had a minor accident around 730 Thursday, according to park officials. As the ride was coming towards its conclusion, something malfunctioned and caused multiple injuries to the passengers aboard at the time. Several people reported back pain while five others were taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

It's such a great coaster. It's really, it's a thrilling ride, man. I'm curious this to, if it breaks too hard at the end or something like that, if we're talking about back problems, what that would be. Yeah, well, they said state officials find the park last summer, I think it was, because the ride partially derailed. So, I don't know. That just makes it more exciting. Right.

You never know.

That's part of the thrill, right?

Maybe you're the one that's going to get injured this time.

Yeah.

The coaster was shut down after the incident, which occurred just before the park was set to close at its usual time at 8 p.m., the park said.

Video shows crews using flashlights on the track on the tracks of the ride.

The incident is under investigation and the ride will remain closed for inspection. El Toro is one of the tallest wooden roller coasters in the world with a maximum speed of 70 miles per hour. After something like this, though, they're going to inspect the crap out of it. It will never be safer to ride the ride after. I mean, I remember years ago when I got off that inchworm ride, I was impotent. So you never know. You know. Back to school shopping at

King of Fresham Mall was disrupted on Thursday when a woman pulled a handgun in the food court

area. A Bermanarian Township police said the incident began when the woman was involved in an

argument with three other women near five guys. The woman said that she walked away to wait for her food but was approached by two of the other women as the argument continued. The single female said she believed that she was about to be assaulted so she pulled out a handgun from her purse and pointed it at them. Five guys is the kind of place though where you get so excited over the food that you went. I was going to say maybe somebody bumped there in line to get one of those bourbon chicken samples that they hand out. And, you know, at the Chinese restaurant there. Oh, that's right. They're always passing. Always hand out. In fact, they're the most consistent sampler dispensers of any. Because that stuff's like crack. Yeah. I mean, once you tasted,, you have no choice, but do buy some. But when it comes to the King of Prussia food courts, there are two. And I go back and forth as to which one is my favorite. This one is the old school one. Downstairs. Yeah, it actually had flooded a few years ago. If you guys remember that. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And that's where the five guys is. And then there's the one in the court, which has, I think that's where the bourbon chicken samples are done. And that's upstairs. There's that smoothie bar and a few other places around there, too. So they're both delightful. And I like, I like frequenting them. Well, the new one is the patty mouth. The grill cheese place, right? Is in the newer area. That's in the newer area. That's in the newer area. That's the newer area that's the upper that's the upper tier

I stand corrected there are three yeah that bridge that they kind of bridge between the two

houses they close it to keep the scum out with the grilled cheese place

and there's also yeah and they have a shake shack inside there outside. Is that bar taco where you can sit inside and outside?

There's so many options.
