Judge shifts Adventureland wrongful death trial to Polk County
A Polk County courtroom will hear the wrongful death case stemming from the July 2021 Raging River incident at Adventureland Park. The move follows Judge Patrick Smith ruling that prior publicity is now stale, keeping the June 2 Scott County trial date as a fallback if more pretrial coverage resurfaces. The Jaramillo family of Cedar Rapids contends the ride malfunctioned and trapped their children, while Adventureland cites continuing prejudice from years of coverage.
