WONDERLAND AMUSEMENT PARK

Official Statement

Wonderland Amusement Park has taken great strides over the past 65 years to ensure the
safety of our visitors at all times, therefore we were extremely concerned to hear about the
experience of Mr. Latham and his six-year-old son over the weekend.
The seatbelt in the last car on the Mouse Trap roller coaster reportedly came loose creating
a very scary situation for the family. Mr. Latham immediately informed the ride operator, found
a member of management and reached out through a private social media message. We
appreciate his diligence in quickly bringing this to our attention.
Wonderland immediately reached back out to Mr. Latham the evening it happened and
promptly removed the back cart from the ride and ensured all other seatbelts were in proper
working order. The Mouse Trap was back in full operation on Saturday.
This particular ride was originally built without seatbelts, but Wonderland later added belts as
an extra safety measure. The Parks Safety and Maintenance Team is tasked with
conducting daily inspections on every Park ride to ensure the safety of Park goers.
Any other inquiries regarding this matter can be emailed to wendi@doubleumarketing.com.
