What type of ride is that, exactly? Looks like a non-KMG Move It of some kind?

What type of ride is that, exactly? Looks like a non-KMG Move It of some kind?

Apparently it was manufactured by Soriani & Moser and is a Top Star Tour model.

Somewhere in international waters, two suffer injuries when the bottom of a drop slide splits open. Some miracle noone fell from height.






Ouch.

Here’s a video of it.

Quick to distance themselves from the ride.

"Due to an incident on a third-party ride not owned by Coney Beach, we were instructed by the police to clear the site for further investigation.”

looks not too serious (interms of injury) but a pretty big screw up:

looking at it, there are a few options that could have happened, however I can't imagine it not being one of these issues:
track out of guage, allowing up stop wheels through and above the track
up stop wheel mounts bent (happened on a similar type of ride in florida if I recall correctly)
up stop wheels / assembly detached / not present

The article has been updated with an eyewitness account. The metal railing falling onto a pram is a curious one?
