Two firefighters’ platforms – a RED-team specializing in high-altitude rescues – as well as the park’s platform are deployed.
In question: around thirty people stuck from 5 p.m. in the “El Volador” attraction at a height of around fifteen meters.
A visitor tells us that the public is gradually being removed from the attraction with all the necessary delicate precautions.
To top it all off, although the weather had been nice all day, it started raining and there was no protection over our heads.
Red capes are distributed to protect passengers.
A large security perimeter is deployed all around the attraction built in 2007.
Our colleagues from Het Laatste Nieuws specify that this is the second time in two weeks that the same incident has occurred, the previous one on the same attraction took place on June 17.
A complicated start to the season
Clearly, 2024 is not the best year ever: the brand new attraction close to “El Volador”, namely “Amazonia” could not initially be opened during the inauguration of the season.
Then was made accessible but broke down, requiring evacuation, before being closed to undergo repairs, finally running as desired for barely a month.
