Palace Entertainment, the new owners of Adventureland Park in Altoona, confirmed that a ride that has been closed since a 2021 fatal accident will not open in 2022.On July 3, 2021, 11-year-old Michael Jaramillo was on the Raging River ride with his family when it capsized. Michael drowned and his brother was seriously injured.The ride has not been in operation since, and state inspectors said they found 17 separate safety violations and 11 specific issues that need to be addressed before the Raging River can legally reopen.The safety violations included improper repairs and inadequate records documenting the history of both repairs and ride training, evacuation training and deficient daily ride inspection forms.State records of violations also spell out that the former company used a popular infomercial product Flex Seal to repair leaks, that there was no documentation for the manager on duty, and that fireworks blocked the entrance for first responders that day.The 11 items that must be completed before the ride can reopen include a change in evacuation plan for a "safe and timely evacuation," retest major modifications made to the ride including steel plates attached to the bottom, have an engineer sign off on the safety of the ride and have the ride manufacturer sign off on the safety of the rafts. The state document goes on to say Adventureland should be able to see people on the ride at all times, written documentation of all repairs and more.The amusement park was purchased by Palace Entertainment in December. That group operates amusement parks in the United States and a water park in Australia. “We are in the midst of a comprehensive review of the attraction, working with the ride manufacturer as well as other third party experts to fully understand the attraction and safety upgrades it may need to comply with state, industry and Palace Entertainment standards. That process is expected to continue for some time, and thus we know the attraction won’t open in 2022. The ride’s ultimate future will be determined by the results of this review,” a company spokesperson said in an email to KCCI. “Safety is our top priority, and we have taken a similarly thorough review process with the entire Adventureland Resort to ensure our safety standards are met.”Adventureland general manager Bill Lentz tells KCCI the amusement park is working with the ride manufacturer Intamin Amusement Rides."We have had the ride manufacturer out here once to take a quick look, we are going to have to get him back out here again as we get a little bit better weather and a chance to better assess it," Lentz said.A local attorney for the Jaramillo family said he believes the ride should never be reopened."The state of Iowa seemed to think that we're failings on the part of Adventure Land on multiple fronts," attorney Fred Dorr said. "And, what I find interesting is Adventure Land never challenged that."The attorney for the former owners of the park, Guy Cook, says that claim is incorrect. Cook told KCCI in November the state report had factual errors. Cook also said the state order had comments on matters unrelated to the incident, and if the issues cited were true "would have been in existence when the state inspector signed off on the ride following an inspection the day before the accident."Dorr said his firm and a Spokane-based attorney are working to investigate who is responsible for the event that killed Michael Jaramillo, though no lawsuit has been filed.The park announced in September that it would remove three rides and add 10 additional attractions.The Lighthouse, Falling Star and Lady Luck rides have been removed from the park to make room for the additional new rides.Adventureland opens on weekends for season pass holders on May 7 and to the general public on May 14, then opens on weekdays starting on Memorial Day.Related:
