Online Petition demands ICON Park to close Orlando FreeFall Attraction

We reported back in March about the young man who fell to his death at the Orlando Free Fall Attraction at ICON Park. Since then the attraction has remained closed while the parents of the young man are looking for answers.

There is an online petition going around demanding that ICON Park tear down this ride.

Here are the details:

On March 24, 2022, at approximately 11:15 p.m., local authorities and news outlets reported that The Late Master Tyre Sampson fell to his later death.

The cause of his tragic passing is due to operator error. Reports show, that a beloved son, brother, teammate, and respectful 14-year-old, was not properly harnessed in the, now, infamous Orlando Free Fall Ride

We grieve the loss of the precious teenager. He had a life of greatness to pursue. He was reported, as an Honor Roll student, and was affectionately known as “Big Tick.”

• We are DEMANDING THE ORLANDO FREE FALL (DROP TOWER) RIDE PERMANENTLY REMOVED. 
• WE DEMAND A FLORIDA LEGISLATIVE BILL ensuring amusement ride companies provide redundant seat belts and or harnesses for high speed/elevated amusement rides
• WE DEMAND EVERY employee connected with this horrific death be held accountable.
• WE recommend a Memorial be placed on site honoring Tyre Sampson 

At this time the Online Petition has nearly 5000 signatures. You can see the petition here.
