A six-year-old child was rushed to the hospital on Thursday with serious injuries after possibly falling off a roller coaster at the Kissimmee Fun Spot amusement park, according to paramedics.
responded to Fun Spot's amusement park in Kissimmee around 3 p.m. on Thursday after receiving reports that a child had fallen from a ride, a spokesperson told FOX 35 in a statement on Friday. A six-year-old boy was found "with traumatic injuries" about 20 feet beneath the ride's track.
He was transported to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, officials said. An update on the child's condition was not immediately known."The department is aware of the incident and we’re currently investigating. The ride is closed pending the outcome of the investigation," the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said in a statement to FOX 35.
Aaron Keller, communications director for the FDACS, identified the ride as the "Galaxy Spin," a wild mouse-type coaster. "Take a spin on a wild mouse style type coaster that produces heavy G forces as you go around sharp and tight corners. With up to 4 people to a seat, your whole cart will be screaming!" is how the ride is descried on Fun Spot's website.
Fun Spot America has two amusement parks in Florida – Orlando and Kissimmee – and a third in Atlanta, Georgia.
