Summary
Fifteen kids and one adult were stranded mid-air on Adventureland’s new Wave Twister ride Friday night — but no one was hurt. Fire, police, and emergency crews raced to the scene as the ride malfunctioned just before 7:30 PM. The youngest rider was just five, paired with a 40-year-old parent, while others ranged from eight to twelve. The park, boasting a strong safety record, has shut down the ride for investigation — it’s only been open since March. One sixth grader even stepped up to calm frightened younger riders, showing surprising maturity. Officials plan to release more details at a Saturday press conference.
