Several rides closed after a malfunction on a rollercoaster in Ohio caused a rider's death were approved to reopen by Cal/OSHA--one of which is located in San Diego.
Just a day after the incident last week, the Beach Blaster at Belmont Park was voluntarily shut down last Thursday by the park at the request of Cal/OSHA.
The Fire Ball roller coaster broke apart, killing at least one and critically injuring another at the Ohio State Fair.
According to Cal/OSHA, amusement parks voluntarily shut down six Fire Ball rides at amusement parks statewide for testing.
Tuesday, Cal/OSHA approved reopening the La Revolucion at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, Delirium at California's Great America and the Beach Blaster in Belmont Park.
The rides that remain out of operation are:
- G Force portable ride owned and operated by Ray Cammack Shows at the Orange County Fair
- Fire Ball portable ride owned and operated by Butler Amusements at the Cal Expo State Fair
- Fire Ball at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
