Willard’s Whizzer, 1980
A Willard’s Whizzer roller coaster train smashed right into another one at Marriott’s Great American Amusement Park in California in 1980. Eight passengers and a park worker were injured as a result, but 13-year-old Kyle Foss was hurled from the car where he crash landed on some rocks and died. But some eyewitnesses claim Foss was about to get on the ride when he got run over by the train. Two other passengers also flew off the ride but were cushioned by the pool’s water.
