Teen girl injured after falling from ride at Canada’s Wonderland

Officials say a 17-year-old girl has suffered injuries after falling off a ride at Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ont.

According to representatives from the theme park, ride operators on the Swing of the Century reported a guest injury shortly after 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

Park medical staff, EMS and York Regional Police all attended the scene. The girl was transported to hospital to be treated for her injuries, the extent of which officials have not yet disclosed.

York police say their organization’s safety authority was dispatched to look into the ride, and determined there was no issue with it.

The ride is described on the theme park’s website as a “chair swinging family ride,” and is one of Wonderland’s original rides.

A spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland says an incident investigation is now underway to determine how this happened.

“The safety of our guests and associates is our top priority,” the spokesperson says.
