REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – A popular roller coaster at Cedar Point could be out of commission for a while.
This, after the state Department of Agriculture which inspects amusement rides in Ohio, found serious problems with Top Thrill Dragster.
They describe the bracket that dislodged from the side of a train car as about the size of a man’s hand.
It struck a 44-year-old Michigan woman in the head.
Her family now says she is fighting for her life in a Toledo hospital.
The ag department also found issues with the ride’s braking system and a track beam, which showed signs of impact.
They continue investigating.
