Looks like she was filming the children in the front row with her phone, so likely their mother. Hopefully she wasn't badly injured and the incident wasn't too traumatic for the kids. Should be quite the POV, if she posts it online.

The wooden bars supporting the rails broke due to a "fault", according to park bosses. When those wooden supporting bars broke causing the rails to sag, the front and possibly other parts of the train would likely have dug into the wooden slats resulting in the holes pictured.

Nope. The riders were evaced. Still quite the ride I imagine.

The media reporting of this has been awful. Looks like it was the car park, but certainly not inside the actual park (which, I agree, unless it was Thorpe would have been alarming)
Nevertheless, the security at the Southern parks will get a bit more gung ho for a bit.

As of yesterday, PortAventura have included Hurakan Condor to their Express One skip-the-line system.
On a side note, Dragon Khan has been operating with just one train lately. Supposedly the other two need to be repaired, but I am assuming the park won't invest in them if they are going to redo Khan.

The iconic Coney Island Cyclone was e-stopped on the lift hill Thursday due to a mechanical issue. Riders were evac'd without incident, but the coaster remains closed until repairs and inspections are completed. The park’s technical team told the city Department of Buildings, which gave Luna Park two violations for failing to maintain the ride and for failing to notify the agency about the incident, that operators found a crack on the chain sprocket in the ride's motor room.

As much as I wanted them to buy PA this should be a blessing for the potential UK park as the Port Aventura purchase may have been their other option. Now that has fallen through the UK park will be their only European project.

There's been a gun scare at Magic Kingdom today with a stampede of people running away on main street.
Police have confirmed there was no shooter. Theory seems to be people heard a popping sound which may have been a balloon and people started running and yelling "shooter" which caused a massive panic.

Didn’t know if this was worth a new topic but I’m going to pose a question which might take it off topic? So Mods if you think it should move please do!
Velocity at Flamingo Land had recently been closed for a number of weeks for maintenance, since reopening they have increased the minimum height restriction to 5’ (1.52m)!
Is this the tallest height requirement for any ride in the UK? I’ve never heard of anything else that high.
