Ride inspectors call safety at Holiday World 'top notch'
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — Ride inspectors from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) took a trip to Holiday world to inspect rides and equipment.
In a post to social media, the department shared its trip and informed the public on how to spot ride permits and ensure equipment is safe.
'One of the most important things when it comes to safety is redundancies,' Amusement Ride Inspector Micheal Gann said. 'So we have our inspectors that are trained and certified, in this case Holiday World has there own inspectors that are trained and certified as well. So the more sets of eyes you have, especially someone that has experience with the equipment, you're going to see different things. And having those redundancies is really how you get a robust safety guideline and system.'
Officials with Indiana Homeland Security say ride permits will be visible near the ride operator's station. If you spot expired or missing permits, report them to the IDHS Amusement Ride Hotline at 1-888-203-5020.
'Holiday World has been a great partner for us and I have no doubt that public safety is top notch,' Gann said.
