A five-year-old girl suffered a cut on the back of her neck and a lifetime of nightmares when a ten-foot skeleton fell on her while she was walking through Adventureland Friday night. The girl was under a tightrope on which the skeleton rides a bicycle back and forth when the rope snapped and the prop tumbled onto her about 8 p.m. As the girl struggled to piece together the events, asking "What happened? What happened?" a witness told her, "Remember the skeleton you seen when you were walking before? Well, it fell and it hit you." The girl was treated at a nearby hospital for lacerations. In 2007, a 6-year-old boy's hand was mangled on an attraction called Super Raider at the Long Island amusement park.
