Parque Warner said the ride was stopped immediately following the incident.

“The affected person was attended to immediately by emergency medical services,” Parque Warner said.

The Batman: Gotham City Escape opened at Parque Warner in 2023. According to the park, it was Spain’s first multi-launch roller coaster.

The attraction uses three launches to propel riders upward at high speeds and includes four inversions, during which riders are briefly suspended upside down.

The incident prompted concern among other visitors at the park. Juan José Molina, another parkgoer, described an atmosphere of panic following the incident.

“There were people crying and having anxiety attacks,” he said.

Parque Warner said the Batman Gotham City Escape will remain closed while management examines what happened. The review is being conducted in coordination with authorities.

The attraction is among the major rides at Parque Warner Madrid, a theme park located in the Madrid area and known for rides and attractions based on Warner Bros. characters and properties.

The incident took place Saturday, Aug. 29, according to the timing of the reports, with Fox News publishing its account early Monday, Aug. 31, at 3:34 a.m. ET.

The circumstances surrounding the visitor’s injuries were not further detailed in the available reports.

Park officials have not announced when the Batman Gotham City Escape will reopen. The ride will remain out of operation while the review continues.

The decision to keep the attraction closed during the investigation means visitors will not be able to use the coaster until park management and authorities determine that it is appropriate to resume operations.

The incident comes more than three years after the attraction opened. Its combination of multiple high-speed launches and inversions makes it one of the park’s more prominent roller coasters.

For now, officials are focused on determining what happened and ensuring the ride is safe before allowing it to operate again.

The injured visitor was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment after emergency responders arrived at the park. No additional information about his condition was provided in the reports cited.

Parque Warner has not indicated how long its review will take. Further information is expected as authorities and park management continue examining the incident.
