Cedar Point Ride Closed After Accident, Report

Cedar Point’s Skyhawk remained closed Sunday after the ride suffered an equipment malfunction Saturday night and injured two people.

Bryan Edwards, Cedar Point’s public relations manager, said in an email that at approximately 10 p.m. Saturday a cable on one of the Skyhawk swing ride’s carriages disconnected. The ride’s crew immediately shut down the ride and notified the park’s emergency personnel, Edwards said.

Skyhawk has two giant arms that swing riders at speeds up to 60 mph. The park says the ride was closed temporarily in 2013 for an unrelated reason.

Edwards says Skyhawk will remain closed until an investigation into the cause of the accident is completed.

He says, “Safety is our top priority.”

Cedar Point in Sandusky is the flagship park of Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., the nation’s fourth-largest amusement park company. Cedar Fair also operates Kings Island.
