Dollywood is temporarily closing its drop tower attraction after a boy fell to his death from a similar type of ride by the same manufacturer at a park in Orlando,
While most of these attractions are not exactly the same as the tower ride in Orlando where a 14-year-old boy died, some parks have issued statements about their individual safety protocols.
Tyre Sampson, 14, fell off of the FreeFall ride at Orlando's ICON Park on Thursday night. The ride is 430-feet-tall, according to the attraction. The ride is operated by the SlingShot Group of Companies.
