Two unrelated deaths occurred within a week of each other in the summer of 2005. The first victim was an 18-year-old ride operator for the "Paul Bunyon" (Ladybug Coaster). The man was struck by the coaster car and died the next morning due to internal injuries. The second incident involved a 45-year-old woman on a ride called the "Top Scan" (which replaced the "Looping Star"). She was flung from the spinning ride and crashed into a parked car in the parking lot. The ride was never used again at Adventureland.
