Cedar Point Closes Valravn Roller Coaster
SANDUSKY, Ohio (KDKA) -- Cedar Point has temporarily closed their Valravn roller coaster at the park after an incident Wednesday.
Cedar Point tells WKYC that a train on the Valravn roller coaster bumped into a parked train in the loading station.
"Guests in both trains were evaluated by the park's First Aid team and escorted safely off the ride," Cedar Point's Tony Clark tells WKYC.
Zack Binger posted on Twitter, "So I tried to go on the valravn when I felt a huge vibration and crash people were screaming, and people running out of line."
So I tried to go on the valravn when I felt a huge vibration and crash people were screaming, and people running out of line. Then I figured out the two trains collided. I'm going to the park tomorrow hope everyone okay. #CedarPoint @cedarpoint #Valravn pic.twitter.com/GzOzURscI0

"Scary moment at Cedar Point," Robbie DiPaola says.
Scary moment at @cedarpoint. While waiting for Valravn the ride broke down. My sister & I decided to wait, and about 20 minutes later the ride resumed. However, after just one train the breaks failed and one train slammed into another in the station. pic.twitter.com/Ruf6iBI6DO
