Default Accident at Stampede

Sounds like the ocean motion ride fell off a track and there are many injuries. Sounds horrible ... anybody else know anything?

Edit: removed for being untrue.

Edit 2: many false stories as it all happened. Looks like it was the scorpion, 5 people are injured and one may be serious.

Correct me if I am wrong, is this not the Ocean Motion?




If this this came off its "track" um, that would be a disaster.

Thats it, or a variation of it.

From Twitter:
Ocean motion ride at the stampede, a cart FULL of people fell OFF the ride... EMS on scene, ppl pinned under ride... Omg...
I don't follow rides anymore so I did a search. Is this the same ride?
There isn't any "tracks" but if that thing let go it can't be good.

I'll refrain from further spreading unconfirmed information posted to twitter.

At the point there's speculation as to what ride it even is.

Search up the #stampede hash tag, the topic is trending.

From what I'm seeing, there may not be anyone pinned underneath.

I remember at a party these 3 guys showed up totally gooned out of their minds and said they were late because they had to finish setting up a ride.

Except for roller coasters that are set up forever I never got on one since.

A twitter account I read said that a car flew off the crazy mouse roller coaster. I'm not sure anyone knows what's going on yet.

Edit: and some other people are saying a car flew off the top of the zipper.
