The S&S free fly coaster Tranan at Swedish amusement park Skara Sommarland had an incident this saturday. One of the cars didn't stop at the final brakerun and collided with a car in the station. Several people where injured. Nothing serious though, only bruises.
The incident was caused by an electrical malfunction. The exact reason to why the brakes didn't work is still unknown, and the attraction will stay closed until the park finds out the reason to why the brakes didn't work.
This is yet another S&S attraction with problems and will not look good for future sales. It's a shame really since their attractions are innovative. But with explosions in pneumatic tanks, re-welding of entire coasters and brakes that doesn't work S&S sure isn't the first of choices for amusement parks that are considering a new coaster...
