Amusement Park Accidents That Will Give You Nightmares

Riders Given $442,000 for Demon Coaster Accident

Imagine hanging upside down for two hours straight. You can get a headache just thinking about it! That’s what happened to passengers of the Demon Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. It was 1998 when the ride was stopped and passengers were stuck suspended in the air, upside down while they waited for rescue workers. Luckily the park visitors were awarded $442K for the traumatic experience, and no one was injured.
