Waltzer Car Malfunction at Edinburgh Fairground Sends Children into Terror A terrifying incident unfolded at the Galactic Carnival Festival in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, on May 12, 2025, when a waltzer car suddenly malfunctioned, sending it flying off the track. The event, captured on video by a bystander, shows the car careening into another, causing screams of terror from children inside. Kevin McNulty, a father who was on the ride with his three children (aged 13, 12 and 7), described the scene: "It came completely off and went smack bang into our seat." The video clearly shows the car detaching and the ensuing chaos. While no serious injuries were reported, the incident raises significant questions about safety protocols at the fairground.

The festival organizers have pledged a full investigation and review of safety procedures. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of regular safety inspections and maintenance of amusement park rides.
