Falling Star was a ride previously located at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park in Seattle, Washington, USA. It was a Falling Star built by Chance Rides.
History
Falling Star opened at Boblo Island in 1984.[1] Following the closure of Boblo Island in 1993, the attraction was sold to Wild Waves.[2]
In 2011 the gearbox malfunctioned while the ride was operating, sending debris flying, some of which hit riders. The ride was closed immediately while representatives for Chance Rides came out to inspect it.[3] It isn't thought to have reopened.
