section needs to be rewritten -- it's copyed directly from the rideaccidents website with no collaborating references. Anyone with additional info is encouraged to make those changes. SpikeJones 05:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Why have these been removed from individual park articles and placed here? The most appropriate place is in the articles for the individual parks, with only summaries or major, major cases here. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 14:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Some issues with the entry: (a) it needs to be rewritten -- both here and on the OIFP page -- as the text was copied verbatim from the Emily webpage as well as the Lost Indiana web page. (b) while I would prefer to use the Emily webpage as the reference over the Lost Indiana webpage regarding info on the accident, we must have an unbiased, 3rd party news article about the incident as well. The Lost Indiana site should be linked from the OIFP page, not here. And finally, (c) we need clarification on the park's ownership and timelines so we know whether this info should be on this page or if it should be on the SF page. Why? because when SF purchased the park, the incident info would have appeared on that page. IF the park ceased to exist when SF sold the park afterwards, then the info would stay on the SF page, as SF was the last park owner. IF the park continued to operate under private ownership for a while before the park ceased to exist, then the incident info can stay here. Can anyone confirm the specifics, please? SpikeJones 05:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
The intro states the article refers to U.S. parks, but Expoland is in Japan. One of them needs to go. I don't see any reason why the article should be U.S. only. 21:18, 14 August 2007 Jamo777
As someone continues to remove the uncited WHIP info, all we need to do is find the references used in this article about the Mind Scrambler accident to see where they got the information about the Whip death. Hence, the citation needed tag in the article. Anyone? SpikeJones 04:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we have a parallel Incidents at state-owned parks? Also, there are other problems with the article name. "Incidents" surely should be "accidents", and "parks" should be "theme parks", as parks implies a place where you might sit on the grass and have a picnic, rather than a place with rollercoasters. -- Dweller ( talk) 15:54, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
And what's the difference between this article and (the better-named) Amusement park accidents? -- Dweller ( talk) 15:56, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I tend to follow most of these articles, if only to keep them above board and free of silly uncited additions, such as, "On July 5, 2012, I went to Hersheypark and stubbed my toe and was very upset". I would agree with a renaming of sorts, such as "Incidents at independent amusement parks", while leaving the others (like Incidents at Six Flags parks and Incidents at Cedar Fair parks) as they are, since they are pretty descriptive. I would be interested in hearing what your other concerns are, GC. -- McDoob AU 93 22:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
I propose that Incidents at Lagoon Amusement Park be merged into Incidents at independent amusement parks. It seems to belong here along with similar information. The Lagoon page is destined to stay short, and its content would fit better in the context of the larger article. Ntsimp ( talk) 14:56, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Incidents_at_Minnesota_Park#Incidents_at_Minnesota_Park for a possible article deletion and/or merge into this article. Thx. SpikeJones ( talk) 04:08, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
There has been some contention over this name in the past, and based on recent incidents that have hit the news, I think the better name for this article should be Incidents at North American amusement parks. Since the major players (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Six Flags, Cedar Fair) have separate articles, we would need to include a redirect in the alphabetical listing to take them to the appropriate page. For example, here's where Six Flags would be located in this article under my proposal (wikification removed purely for illustrative purposes):
Siam Park (Thailand)
Flume ride
Water slide
Six Flags parks
Splash Adventure
Yes, in this case Siam Park would be removed since it's not in North America. This would probably call for an Incidents at Asian amusement parks article in the same vein. Thoughts? -- McDoob AU93 13:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move, for the moment. However, there is a consensus that once the article has been split and the Asian and Australian incidents have found a new home (and also the European ones have been moved to the correct article), then there is a consensus the article should be moved. Ping me once that's happened and I'll move the page. Jenks24 ( talk) 08:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Incidents at independent amusement parks →
Incidents at North American amusement parks – Name is vague and does not properly limit the scope of the article. There is a similar article for
Incidents at European amusement parks that cover parks not owned by major chains in Europe. This article should further include links to the separate Incidents summary articles for Six Flags, Disney Parks, Cedar Fair, etc. --Relisted.

Houston Chronicle has compiled a list of recent injuries at Typhoon Texas waterpark, including this one: https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Houston-TX-Waterpark-Injuries-13781040.php#photo-10393859
Ride/slide: Typhoon Location: Katy Texas Park: Typhoon Texas Waterpark Person: Female, age 38 Incident: While in the tube hit buttocks while going down the ride Injury: Buttocks, buttocks pain Note: No incident report made while on property - no notification of injury til 1 week later
I noticed a lot of water parks on this list like Kalahari, Schlitterbahn and Great Wolf Lodge- I think creating for purely water parks would be good, or merging these incidents for chain parks with the original page. Hybrid parks like Mt. Olympus could stay here since they have roller coasters. Eg224 ( talk) 15:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
I noticed the first description mentions anything is eligible from amusement parks to water parks, but still having the page titled with “amusement parks” makes me think it should be separate- plus this page has gotten pretty long. Eg224 ( talk) 15:34, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
Was Terminal Velocity a skycoaster? I didn't think Skycoaster made scad towers, and there's no mention of any on the Skycoaster page. 174.103.211.175 ( talk) 23:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
