Jury Awards Teens $550K After Ride Mishap | Portland News

A jury just awarded two teens $550,000 total after they were stuck upside down on Oaks Park’s AtmosFEAR ride for nearly 30 minutes — a harrowing incident that sparked lawsuits and exposed serious safety failures. The park delayed rescue efforts, lacked proper emergency tools, and didn’t admit fault for over two years. A critical safety override wasn’t even installed until after the accident. While Oaks Park praised everyone’s safety and says it’s prioritizing improvements, the families remain concerned — especially since the exact cause of the malfunction is still unknown.
