The 'El Loco' roller coaster at the Adventuredome Theme Park on the Las Vegas strip is currently closed following the accident.
A woman has been injured after she fell from a roller coaster at an amusement park inside a Las Vegas casino. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital following the fall. The extent of her injuries are not known at this time.
Clark County Building and Fire Prevention confirmed they have been notified of the incident and that a Prohibited Use Notice was issued against the ride. “Clark County Building and Fire Prevention was notified of an incident shortly after it happened involving a woman who fell out of the El Loco Roller Coaster Monday afternoon,” the department said in a statement, reports KSNV.
MGM Resorts International, who own the Las Vegas resort, added in a statement: “We are incredibly saddened that one of our Adventuredome guests was injured and our hearts go out to the guest and her family. Safety is our top priority, and the ride in question is closed until further notice as this incident is investigated."
The El Loco roller coaster, which travels in and out of the Circus Circus theme park, moves at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour and is 90 feet at its highest point. The ride has been operating since February 2014.
