JACKSON - A child was hospitalized after being injured on The Joker rollercoaster at Six Flags Great Adventure on Wednesday, prompting the ride to be shut down overnight, spokeswoman Kristin Fitzgerald said.
Six Flags would not comment on the cause of the injury or the child s condition.
Lisa Ryan, spokeswoman for the Department of Community Affairs, which oversees amusement park rides, said in an email that the boy cut his head.
DCA staff and park officials inspected the Joker Wednesday and concluded that it was in “proper working order,” Fitzgerald said.
Ryan said the department inspector who examined the Joker did not find any sharp edges, bolts or worn padding on the ride seating on the train in question that would have caused a head injury and the train was put back in service.
