According to sources, Cedar Point’s Top Thrill Dragster coaster will remain close for the rest of the operating 2021 season. This is expected as the ride was involved in a serious accident that has a woman fighting for her life in a hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to multiple sources, a 44-year-old woman from Swartz Creek Michigan was waiting her turn to ride the coaster on August 15th in the ride’s queue when suddenly a metal object which has been described as an L-shaped bracket that was originally attached to a back of a train car broke free from the ride and struck her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is being reported the woman is still fighting for her life in an undisclosed hospital. We have no further information on her condition but are thinking of her as she is in our thoughts and prayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
