(Altoona, IA) Iowa state inspectors have ordered Adventureland to keep its Raging River ride shut down. No guests had been riding it since 11-year-old Michael Jaramillo suffered fatal injuries Saturday. The boy and five others were on a raft that flipped over. His older brother is reportedly still hospitalized in a medically-induced coma. That ride had passed its last five annual inspections and had been inspected the day before the accident.
