A 17-year-old girl was transported to a trauma centre," York Regional Police shared in a statement with Fox News Digital.

"Park medical staff and EMS responded, and the guest was taken to hospital. An incident investigation is underway," a spokesperson for Canada's Wonderland shared in an email to CTV News Toronto.

"The safety of our guests and associates is our top priority," added the park spokesperson.

According to Canada's Wonderland website, the "Swing of the Century was one of the 26 original rides located on-site when the Park opened on May 23, 1981."

Rider safety information on the website describes the ride as "a chair swing family ride with free hanging seats suspended from an elevated, rotating, and slanting tower. Riders will rotate in a circular motion as the tower begins to rise."
