Description
SeaWorld’s Electric Eel rollercoaster remains closed after a man was injured on the ride last Friday.
Since then, many park-goers have voiced their concerns about the safety of the ride online.
“It wasn’t fun, it was a very scary, very scary experience," said rider, Fernando Garcia.
Garcia says he and his family took a trip to the theme park late last year. He says his excitement quickly turned into worry once he was strapped in.
“I noticed that the shoulder straps were frayed more than half way on both sides and that rollercoaster goes upside down pretty slow. So, I was concerned that, you know, is it going to hold me? Is it going to break?" continued Garcia.
Before taking off, he asked a worker if his straps were 'OK'. He was told that there was nothing to worry about.
