PITTSBURGH — Westmoreland County officials say a child fell from a roller coaster ride at the ‘Idlewild and Soak Zone’ Water Park near Pittsburgh Thursday.
Idlewild has two roller coasters — the Rollo Coaster, with a height requirement of 36 inches, and the Wild Mouse, which has a 48-inch requirement.
Cars on the Rollo Coaster do not include seat belts. Riders who are under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult.
According to WPXI, a medical helicopter was flown to the location.
The condition of the injured child was not known.
