Six guests and one employee were transported by ambulance to get medical treatment, the Silver Dollar City theme park said in a statement on Twitter. The park did not detail the extent of the injuries.
“Onsite paramedics provided emergency care until first responders arrived,” the park said.
The Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train brings guests on a scenic 20-minute ride through the countryside, interrupted by a theatrical “stick-up” by a band of train robbers, the park’s website says. The ride is billed as a staple of the park that has been in operation since 1962.

I do not like any theme park rides and I see these from time to time. They all make me nervous and I can’t see the fun of making yourself go fast or scary rides, creates dizziness and makes me feel sick. I don’t get ‘the fun’ of these things.
Been there, many times. We love Silver Dollar City.
As I recall, this is a simple train ride through the country at 20-30 mph.
I see this was a train derailed. Oops. Sorry. Read it wrong.
This ride is quite enjoyable.
The Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train is still a better system than California High Speed Rail!
1) This was a 5mph steam train ride, not a roller coaster.
B) You must be the life of the party on trips in the car.
Do you not see my post #6?

Yes, I remember that ride from the late 1960’s...wonder if it was the original tracks? If so it’s amazing they lasted this long.
LOL, people get sidetracked sometimes.
Read my post # 6, but no one does reads other posts, I guess. I’ve had to tell three people.
“I don’t get ‘the fun’ of these things.”
Well, either you’re an adrenaline addict and you can’t get enough, or the adrenaline response makes you feel sick and you want to avoid it whenever possible. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground between those two types.
I think what happens, is that people read posts in order, and respond to the original one , without having read through all of the responses.
read my post # 6.
Does no one read the other guys posts around here? Having to do this again and again.
