EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ The family of a 10-year-old South Jersey girl who died when she was ejected from an amusement park ride in 2019 has now sued the makers of that ride, alleging they knew the ride was dangerous.
The suit was filed Feb. 22 in Middlesex County Superior Court and the lawsuit highlighted that the same ride has been used every year since 1998 at the Middlesex County Fair.
The ride is the Xtreme Super Sizzler, owned by Skelly s Amusements. Skelly s provides the rides for many fairs throughout New Jersey, and the Sizzler is a very common and popular amusement park ride. The Sizzler is very similar to the Scrambler.
