Thoughts with the family involved in today's tragic events.

Poor little girl.


Drayton Manor has quite a history of fatal accidents.

My other half used to work for a law firm dealing with the cases. Can't remember any details, but one was on a train ride, and one flew off a flying carpet ride.

Snake train? That was brutal, hard to believe it was ever allowed to run although the comments on this video suggest there might not have been a death on it.

That's the one. Asian woman's scarf got caught in it and strangled her.

It really doesn't. 1 heart attack death before this incident, that's all I can find.

[Willy Nilly]

Erm, why was she not at school?

It was a school trip. We went to Dreamland in Margate which was st but non-fatal.

There will be a whole world of st with her being on a school trip and no doubt further school trips will be just about impossible to go on

bullst

one fatal incident (post-ride heart attack) prior to yesterday in 68 years of operation...

ETA - even if you include the "scarf death" (for which i can find no reference online) that's two in 68 years of operation which is two too many obviously

Don't forget Ayahuasca's vague memory of a strangling at Drayton Manor too

Sounds like death would have been a better option!

RIP to the girl, not sure what happened or how, as people said it doesn't appear to be a fast ride - I'm sure details will come out.

I did hear an account of what happened this morning, but not sure how accurate so won't details. The gist of it was not following ride instructions.
