Why Is Nitro Temporarily Closed At Great Adventure?

Although it's a shame that this popular coaster is temporarily closed, especially as Great Adventure starts up Fight Fest, Nitro is incredible to ride in the dark. However, I get why the decision was made. According to News 12, it's all out of an abundance of caution, and the parks are working with authorities to figure out exactly what happened in Georgia and to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
