This site mentions at least two similar accidents: http://www.rideaccidents.com/rides.html These sites have more information about the accident in Indiana. The last site includes an investigation photo of the accident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Indiana_Fun_Park http://www.lostindiana.net/html/old_indiana_fun_park.html Tom Cornillie |

This has been a hot topic on the Parktrains list. Someone on Parktrains described the train as being custom-built using components from a MTC G-16. Looks like excessive speed on a curve was the obvious direct cause, with operator error or brake failure being variously blamed for the speed. The train tipped over on a curve. The most serious injury was an elderly lady who got a broken arm. |
