Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations

Here I was, immersed in history in 17th-century Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales.

No matter your age, we’ve all ventured to an amusement park at one point or another.

But even the most adrenaline-seeking travelers are starting to pause after the Oct. 12 incident in which 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem fell to his death while riding Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a theme park outside of Atlanta.
