“Park medical staff and EMS responded, and the guest was taken to hospital,” the statement said.
“An incident investigation is underway. The safety of our guests and associates is our top priority.”
There is no word on the victim’s age or gender, or how serious their injuries were.
The amusement park’s website says the Swing of the Century is a “chair swing family ride.”
It takes “riders through the air in individual seats that are raised and lowered at a soothing pace,” the website says.
It was one of the original 26 rides when the park first opened.
