Kentucky Kingdom Accident: A Non-Update Update

When we last left the Kentucky Kingdom accident in which a teenager’s feet were severed while on a drop ride, a lawsuit had been filed and the state department of agriculture (which regulates amusement rides) was investigating.  I submitted an informal public records request last week asking for an update, and received a phone call reporting that they would not be releasing any interim documents and that the investigation was ongoing.

Perhaps relevantly, the park is done with the regular season but is continuing with Halloween-themed weekends.
