Overview
- State officials say a spot inspection found more than 20 lap belts that did not lock tightly, violating safety requirements.
- The inspection followed an email from a woman reporting her son's belt would not lock snugly during an earlier visit.
- Riders described separate incidents on Oct. 11 and Oct. 12, including a belt coming completely undone and a later stop to fix a twisted, loose belt.
- The Mamba passed an inspection in April with no noted issues, and Missouri law requires at least one approved inspection each year.
- Worlds of Fun, operated by Six Flags, says it completed a safety review and Fire Marshal–requested modifications, with any reopening dependent on state approval.
