SkyForce10 was over the park shortly after as investigators gathered at the bottom of "El Toro," Six Flag's 19-story wooden roller coaster. Several ambulances were also seen in the parking lot.
Darretta said the ride is closed for inspection.
In May, "El Toro" was named #1 on USA Today's list of "10 best roller coasters of 2022," stating it's known as "'the bull' for its powerful and shaky train" and its "totally unique, old-school-new-school experience."
