A court finally has determined a fine for Calypso Water Park. Ontario, Canada, Justice of the Peace Julie Lauzon ordered the facility in Limoges to pay $400,000 in safety violations for incidents that date back to 2011 and 2012.
In April, Calypso was found guilty of 6 safety violations, including failing to adequately train its employees and for failing to operate the Bobsleigh ride safely after an employee launched a second sleigh while another was stuck on the flume. Originally, the park faced 20 charges but 9 had been dropped as of February of this year.
