This is likely our first official confirmation that she did survive but also that she had serious complications as you would expect.
I’m glad this happened. Not only because Cedar Fair needs to be better at ride maintenance with their customers trusting them every time they step onto a ride, and the fact that they need to take responsibility for what their maintenance negligence did, but also because this lady has clearly recovered past the point of being on death’s door, if she has direct input on the lawsuit (she dropped off of the radar after her injury… so many people didn’t know if she’d died, or what).
Sounds like she still has recovery challenges ahead, but good to hear that she’s not in mortal peril.
Cedar Fair really does like to sweep things under the rug and it is concerning to me. It’s not that I think anyone going to their parks are in mortal danger but I do think that the fact that Cedar Fair (and especially Cedar Point) has been able to keep things so well hidden has emboldened them to not fear “mishaps” as much as they should. I’m honestly also kind of disappointed that Ohio didn’t find any fault with Cedar Point even while specifically saying (in another part of the report) that they used the wrong grade of hardware. Even with the Fury 325 crack they took an extremely long time before they made a comment and you can tell that was only because of the media firestorm… and after how many years we still really don’t know what happened with Valravn when it’s trains collided.

Can we please have a fucking literacy test for journalists before they’re allowed to report on news?
The funny (and sad) thing is that I am so used to it I don’t even notice it anymore. I have to think that there are so many cuts to news organizations that many places don’t ever proof read.
