The one thing that most guests take for granted in going to a theme or amusement park is their health. Safety is obviously one of the most important things in a theme park and one area under this is your personal health at the parks. All theme parks have some type of first aid or infirmary locations within the park in case of emergencies or even minor bumps and bruises. According to NBC in Chicago, some former employees who worked in the health section of Six Flags Great America are coming out about the lack of importance that the first aid sections of the park have toward the guests.

Most theme park guests realize that if you lose a valuable item on a ride that there is usually no way that you will ever see the item again. You may get lucky and at the end of the day, the park employees will turn something in to the lost and found and return it to you. This was not the case at Silver Dollar City this week as employees went above and beyond the call of duty to make a young boy’s day not turn into a tragedy. According to Silver Dollar City and Ozarksfirst.com, Wes Thomas, 12, was in the line for the famous Wildfire coaster.
