i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the kid was squirming around in the seat and it was the child’s error (like maybe the kid didn’t want to be on the ride and was trying to get out). i can’t see it being the operator/ride attendant error. hope that this kid is okay
Desiree Domer I agree. My granddaughter has been on that ride. And she was only 2. I’ve seen many kids her age on it. Shame, just hope the girl will be ok.
Desiree Domer my thoughts exactly.

That place sucks!!! Overpriced as hell I hope it gets shut done so they can stop robbing people
Emily Specca no it’s not. It’s $25.50. How’s that overpriced
yes $25 is a lot of money for an adult ticket when there’s nothing there for adults. It should be like ten dollars for an adult.

At least they had the decency to shut the ride down after the incident, unlike the ride operators at the Fall fest last week. Thank God she’s ok.
Kimberly Forlenza-Felicié there are different inspections and regulations for “permanent and transient rides” . When a ride is in a permanent location it is held to a higher standard than transient rides.
