CUTE VIDEO: Stuffed Animals Ride Roller Coaster In San Diego To Keep The Machinery in Good Working Order
A San Diego theme park has recruited some unusual passengers to tests the roller coasters during the coronavirus lock down- stuffed animals. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the rides at Belmont Park in Mission Beach have been closed to visitors since mid-March. The Giant Dipper roller coaster still has to run every day to keep the machinery in good working order. Park officials said the maintenance crew grew tired of running the coaster without passengers. Last week they decided to load the 95-year-old ride up with stuffed animals. The coaster runs multiple times a day with its cars filled with stuffed animals that formerly served as prizes for the park’s games. Some of the stuffed animals might remain as social distancing buffers once the park reopens.
