Over the weekend, a small metal piece fell off the Magnum XL at Cedar Point.

According to a Cedar Point spokesman, the washer became detached from the coaster's lift mechanism.

The ride was shut down for a thorough inspection and reopened.

Five years ago, a female waiting in line was hit after a metal object fell from the Top Thrill Dragster.

The female was waiting in line to ride the Top Thrill Dragster when a small metal object became dislodged from a train at the top of the 420-foot-tall ride.

The park said the falling object then struck the guest in line.

The ride shut down months later.
