WorkSafe shut down the Cartoon Coaster at the Canterbury A&P Show due to reported loose parts.

WorkSafe shut down the Cartoon Coaster at the Canterbury A&P Show after a mother reported hearing loose parts, possibly a screw or brace, during her son's ride. Other attendees also reported seeing bolts fall out. WorkSafe issued a prohibition notice, requiring safety improvements before the ride can reopen. The show's organizers confirmed WorkSafe's presence and stated the ride will remain closed until it meets safety standards.
