An investigation has cleared Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio of violating any laws or rules in an accident involving the world's second-tallest roller coaster last year.

The world's second-tallest roller coaster won't open again this year, Friday, Aug. 20 2021, after a person standing in line was hit in the head by a metal object that flew off the ride last weekend at Cedar Point amusement park.
Cedar Point is closely reviewing the report and the ride will remain closed for the 2022 season, said spokesperson Tony Clark. A female guest was waiting to ride the coaster when she was struck by a “small metal object” that came off the coaster as it neared the end of its run, according to the Agriculture Department's Division of Amusement Ride Safety.
