More than 100 people sue over brain damage claims linked to famous US roller coaster

More than 100 people have filed lawsuits against one of the United States' most prominent roller coasters, alleging that riding the attraction caused them to suffer brain damage.

The legal actions represent a significant challenge for the operators of the ride, which is regarded as among the most recognisable in the country. Plaintiffs across the cases claim the coaster is responsible for serious neurological harm.

The cluster of lawsuits raises broader questions about safety standards at amusement parks and the physical stresses that high-speed rides can place on passengers. No further details about the specific ride or its location have been confirmed.
