DaBouncer   13 #6 Posted July 20, 2006 Three people have been taken to hospital and 26 others treated for cuts and bruises following an accident on a ride at Alton Towers. It happened when the front carriages of the Runaway Mine Train became separated and rolled back into the rest of the ride at the Staffordshire theme park.

blondie-blue   10 #7 Posted July 20, 2006 The Runaway train at alton towers has had 2 carriages detatch from the main train and crashed in to carriages in front.... how funny is that  Is that ironic or what.... wonder if they thought it was part of the ride... all sat there with their hands waving in the air....

Angel05 Â Â 10 #11 Posted July 20, 2006 Funny???? Scary, yes. Funny, no. Â Funny didn't spring to my mind either... i think its the "Runaway Train" thats the point of the funny side of things here... Â But joking aside i sincerely wish everyone a speedy recovery... (pardon the pun!) Â Runaway train has always been one of my faves... dont think it will be now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Clare85 Â Â 11 #12 Posted July 20, 2006 Sounds to me it could have been worse. Luckily it wasn't! Â Funny really, I have never got on a ride at a theme park and thought that something could go wrong. Suppose its like getting in a car, you kind of put your trust in the driver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
