DRAGSTER SETTLEMENT

CEDAR POINT AMUSEMENT PARK'S PARENT COMPANY, CEDAR FAIR, AND THE MICHIGAN WOMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM A BRACKET FALLING OFF THE TOP THRILL DRAGSTER ROLLER COASTER IN 2021 HAVE NOW REACHED A SETTLEMENT.
THE TERMS ARE NOT BEING DISCLOSED. RACHEL HAWES WAS HOSPITALIZED AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THE RIDE WAS SHUT DOWN. THE SETTLEMENT COMES JUST WEEKS BEFORE CEDAR POINT WILL OPEN ITS NEW VERSION OF THE RIDE CALLED "TOP THRILL TWO." IN A STATEMENT FROM CEDAR POINT AND THE HAWES FAMILY THEY SAY QUOTE "RACHEL SUFFERED A LIFE-CHANGING INJURY BUT HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH A TREMENDOUS SUPPORT NETWORK THAT, ALONG WITH HER RESILIENCE, HAS HELPED ON JER JOURNEY TOWARDS RECOVERY. RACHEL TRULY APPRECIATES ALL THE PUBLIC'S SUPPORT AND PRAYERS AND CEDAR FAIR'S COOPERATION AND OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH HER FAMILY AND THEIR COUNSEL." END QUOTE.
