The girl fell into the water and was injured in this tragic accident. The girl was picked-up via an air-ambulance and has unfortunately died as a result of injuries.
Our thoughts are with everyone involved at this time.
Ryan has been attending theme parks since as long as he can remember and his first proper memory comes from when he was just three years old sitting in Main Street USA drinking a Nesquik milkshake from a carton while the piano was being played outside Casey’s Corner.
