ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Almost a year after a teenager from the St. Louis area fell to his death, a 400-foot amusement ride is being dismantled this week in Orlando.
A gigantic crane hovered Wednesday beside the towering ride where 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell in March 2022.
A fence encircled the ride and blocked off parts of the nearby sidewalk and road.
The ride’s dismantling was expected to take several days.
Sampson was visiting Orlando during spring break when he died from the fall.
