Silver Dollar City is one of the better non-Disney / non-Universal theme parks in the United States, so it's a big(ger) deal that something like this happened. According to the statement released by the park, six guests and one employee were taken to the hospital, though I don't believe we've heard any further than that.

Most train rides in theme parks barely travel faster than running speed, so even in a situation like this, the potential for serious injury is somewhat low, IMO.

A law firm based in Springfield is posting on socials asking for victims to reach out. They state that they supposedly represented plaintiffs in a case related to the Ride The Ducks amphibious buses, which were owned by Silver Dollar City's parent company, Herschend, at the time.

An article in the KC Star stated that all but one had been released from the hospital.
