A day of fun turned into a nightmare at a UK theme park when a rollercoaster derailed, injuring multiple children and prompting an immediate closure of the attraction.
Emergency services rushed to the scene as terrified park-goers watched in horror. Witnesses reported hearing screams as the rollercoaster came off its tracks during operation.
Chaos at the Park
The incident occurred during peak hours when the park was crowded with families enjoying summer holidays. Park staff quickly evacuated the area while paramedics treated the injured children on site.
"It was absolute chaos," one eyewitness told reporters. "One moment kids were laughing, the next they were screaming in pain. The carriage just seemed to jump the track."
Investigation Underway
Health and safety officials have launched a full investigation into the derailment. Early reports suggest possible mechanical failure, though park representatives insist all rides undergo daily safety checks.
The theme park has temporarily closed the entire rollercoaster section pending the investigation's outcome. A spokesperson expressed deep regret over the incident and promised full cooperation with authorities.
Parental Outrage
Angry parents have demanded answers about the park's safety protocols. "How could this happen?" asked one mother whose child suffered minor injuries. "These rides should be completely safe. Someone needs to be held accountable."
Local hospitals reported treating several children for injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more serious conditions. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
