4: The Oakwood Theme Park \r
4/15/2004: 16-year-old Hayley Williams is on vacation with her mother, 13-year-old sister, & some friends at the Oakwood Theme Park in Tenby, Wales. She was riding the Hydro water ride, which opened in 2002 & is known for its height; being only 34 feet shorter than Canadas largest waterfall, the Niagara Falls. The ride was closed for a year & when it did reopen, they were required to install over-the-shoulder restraints - which are a step up from the seat belt & lap bars—in order to add to the rides safety. They also changed the name of the ride to Drenched. \r

1 of the most tragic roller coaster accidents in the history of Britains amusement parks occurred at the Battersea Fun Fair in 1972. Located in Londons Battersea Park, the Big Dipper opened in 1951 & was the parks main wooden roller coaster attrion. But 21 years after its opening, it claimed the lives of 5 children when the wooden train being elevated up to the start of the ride broke loose from its carrying cable & rolled backwards into the station, smashing into another waiting train. 13 others were injured in the accident as well. One particular passenger was Carolyn, a 14-year-old schoolgirl who was lucky enough to escape when the big dipper crashed. She was able to recall the entire incident. After the accident, the Big Dipper was taken apart & closed down. \r
2: Expoland\r
5/5/2007: a 6-car roller coaster called Fujin Raijin II is derailed at the Expoland amusement park in Suita, Japan. The ride is about 130 feet high & can carry up to 24 people. Unlike most roller coasters in which youre built to sit in, the Fujin Raijin II was made for passengers to stand throughout the course of the ride. And on this particular day 20 passengers were onboard & more than halfway along its 3,400-foot course while traveling at about 45 miles per hour when a wheel axle on 1 of the seats broke, sending cars flying off the tracks & battering into a nearby guardrail. A 19-year-old student ended & 19 others were injured. Investigators later discovered that none of the rides axles were replaced for 15 years & a broken one caused the crash. \r
1: Galaxy Land Amusement Park\r
Located in the worlds largest indoor shopping & entertainment complex at Galaxy Land Amusement Park in Alberta, Canada is the Mindbender. This twisted roller coaster was declared one of the safest rides in the world just 1 day before it came crashing into a concrete pillar of the mall. But on a late Saturday night in June of 1986, a total of 12 people were riding the roller coaster when the last of the 4-car train started fishtailing out of control while traveling at 60 miles per hour due to missing bolts on the left inside wheel mechanism. It then threw its passengers against a pole before falling about 25 feet to the ground. It wasnt reopened until 7 months later, but this time with new safety features. It has since then had an excellent safety record.
