WILDWOOD, N.J. — A Jersey shore boardwalk amusement park that closed after an 11-year-old girl tumbled from a moving Ferris wheel to her death reopened Saturday while investigators tried to figure out what caused her fall.
Abiah Jones was with her classmates from Pleasant Tech Academy when she plunged about 100 feet, from near the top of the ride, and landed in the passenger loading area, police and amusement park officials said.
The Ferris wheel was to remain closed until the cause of the girl’s fall is determined. It didn’t appear to be mechanical, police and park operators said.
