I was at the park 3 times a week documenting its construction very sad to see what has happened. I wrote a piece for Bob at Pixels which you can read here if interested

It's official now, it was caused by human error.

"The investigation concluded that the incident was the result of human error culminating in the manual override of the ride safety control system without the appropriate protocols being followed.

The investigation also identified areas where protocols and the training of employees should be improved.

There were found to be no technical or mechanical problems with the ride itself."
