amusement park injuries

Amusement parks have taken on an international appeal in recent decades, but theme parks and the thrill rides that comprise their star attractions remain a quintessentially American form of public entertainment, with a heritage reaching back well over a century.

One of the roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure has been shut down following an incident that took place on the evening of August 25, in which 19 passengers on the ride reported injuries after the coaster completed its cycle.
