NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 17-year-old boy was killed by a roller coaster at a Six Flags Inc amusement park in Georgia on Saturday after entering a restricted area, park officials said.

The teen, visiting from Springfield, South Carolina, with his church group, was struck and killed instantly by the Batman roller coaster after scaling 6-foot fences marked by danger signs with another boy, Six Flags spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a statement.

"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,'" Sheth said in the statement."
