According to the Ocean City police department, the five people received minor injuries when riding the "Log Flume" ride at Gillian's Wonderland Pier on the Boardwalk.

The victims were identified as Kimberly Aceto, 40, of Barrington; Travis Lindenmoer, 27, of Lehighton, Pa.; and Danielle Summreil, 23, of Lehighton, Pa.

 

A 9-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl were also injured, but due to their age, their names are not being released.

 

The victims were taken to Shore Memorial Hospital.

 

There was no information on what happened to the ride.

 

The "Log Flume" will remain closed until the New Jersey State Department of Community Affairs, which oversees amusement parks, can figure out what caused the accident, police said.

 

Telephone calls left at the amusement park office were not immediately returned.

Sounds like Gillian's isn't talking. I guess they don't want bad press like with the Wild Wonder incident (the Zamperla Wild Mouse that killed 2 people and was sold to Magic Springs). On the news they showed someone being carried on a stretcher despite them saying it was minor injuries.

Not nessasarily, My friend complained of back pains (which he has had all his life) after getting off thunder road at carowinds and the park sent him to the hospital on a stretcher just incase something was severly wrong. It was probably just a precautionary measure and the hospital had told the news that the injuries were minor.
