'The Galaxy Spin' ride reopens at Fun Spot
"The Galaxy Spin" ride at Fun Spot America's Kissimmee theme park has been cleared to reopen, nearly two months after a boy fell from the ride. The state's investigation concluded that the boy was tall enough to go on the ride and that he was properly secured. It also determined that the boy stood up while the ride was in motion and either fell or was thrown from the ride.
