My father got a partial punctured lung so it's not fully punctured and the rescue team didn't know until he got off that he was that injured unfortunately. My father said he thought his ribs were broken but had no idea about his lung. They couldn't really give us any medical attention while up there unless it was dire as we were unsure of the cart stability either. We may pursue a lawyer in the future but for now we don't feel the need to, we have had a chat to some over the phone to get some advice so we do have that part down already, I understand what you're saying now. Thank you everyone for your thoughts, you're all a lot more understanding than the idiots commenting on the news pages..

Yeah, I know they won't put the ride back up until they are 110% sure it will be okay after this incident which does make me feel more secure about thinking about going on it again in the future

We have been contacted but after a lot of backlash from people our family decided to not talk to anymore press even if they offer money because it wasn't worth the stuff people were saying. Just the usual 'money hungry people, aren't even injured just want the money for nothing' etc.. It was actually a lot worse than that but I'm not going to get into details in it

Yeah, It is hard to tell really since it happened I might have thought it was after that, and me being afraid would have contributed to me feeling it was faster too And I also might have assumed it was because I've been told theories of the wheel being loose giving less traction thus making is faster etc.. So it probably wasn't any faster than normal just my mind making it feel like that

Thanks, I'm lucky I'm a pretty positive person naturally I think haha Yeah, I mean my father was the worst hurt with broken ribs but we will be contacted by Movie World soon to discuss all of that kind of stuff.

I love Movie World, I love all theme parks. I might stay away for a couple of months but I have a pass and will end up using it again It's hard to say what I'm upset at because they should be doing very thorough checks every morning which I know they do (being a past employee of Dreamworld) but this happened in the middle of the day where the cart has been run many times beforehand, they don't do mid-day checks or anything like that. I think for now I am very happy I am on the ground again!

Yeah, they did everything possible which was correct, which is why we don't see the point in taking any legal action. We didn't know what was going on and were just worried they would start the ride again but we understand why now I really don't think this will stop me forever, just maybe for the time being. Thanks guys

It was really like some Final Destination stuff hey! Which was one of my first thoughts unfortunately!

Hi Guys, I am actually one of the people stuck on the top cart on Sunday. (The girl in the front with the blue shirt) It was terrifying being up there and we were told by the rescue team that we dodged a bullet and something (assuming on the remaining wheels attached) jammed into the track which saved us from falling. I remember going over the first drop and it feeling way faster than normal, we went around that corner and i could feel the cart slide out from the track, heard a loud grinding noise and then we came to a sudden stop. I hurt my chest from the impact and I then felt a second band which made me feel like we were falling off the track (which was the 2nd cart tipping). We saw and hear people screaming and running out from the queue and I heard my dad say he could see a wheel dropping to the ground. Movie world played their usual speel 'the ride has been delayed and we will continue the ride shortly' which they played a numerous amount of times making us worry that they would try to start it again. No one came up for about 15 minutes but once the fire rescue team was up they started to reassure us and they started strapping us down after the first hour, because they needed to figure out what to do to make sure we wouldn't fall. Once they got us strapped in we made sure they took the young girl and her mother down first as they were on a worse angle than us, then we got off one by one. They told us that we wee just hanging in there and we were very lucky. We overheard the one of the guys say they really don't know how it was staying up there but we are very lucky and they weren't sure if the carts were going to fall overnight. I know all the media makes it sound over the top but it really was terrifying and I really thought we were going to die. but I am so thankful they did rescue us and no one who wasn't there probably won't get how bad it really was. That was my story anyway. By the way with the whole media thing, they really seek you out and don't stop until you agree to talk with them. All the papers were one lot of quotes (one by me, and the other paper was my sister and father). We aren't looking for any money at all and are not sure where the media got that quote from)
