An Orange County woman is suing Disney after she said she fell and hurt herself during a ride evacuation at Test Track this year.
Karen Imbrogno filed the lawsuit against the theme park company this week and is seeking more than $50,000.
According to her complaint, Imbrogno was at EPCOT on St. Patrick’s Day and riding Test Track when the attraction broke down.
“The ride malfunctioned and shut down in the middle,” the lawsuit said.
On the intercom, a Disney Cast Member told riders they had to exit the attraction. A second Disney Cast Member led Imbrogno away. As Imbrogno followed, “ she fell into a three foot dropoff,” the lawsuit said.
Imbrogno had a “permanent injury,” the lawsuit said without detailing exactly how she got hurt.
It’s at least the second lawsuit recently involving a Disney World visitor who claimed to be hurt when a ride had problems.
Earlier in September, WDWNT reported a child from New Jersey suffered whiplash when Peter Pan’s Flight unexpectedly stopped and then violently restarted again at the Magic Kingdom. The child’s father is now suing Disney.
