25.08.2008 by Adrian A. Lozano


Due to the escalator incident at this months Summer Wonder Festival next years Winter Wonder Festival will not be taking place as scheduled. Currently there are many agencies investigating what caused the escalator to break which lead to 10 attendees being injured in the opening rush of the show. Kaiyodo the company that runs Wonder Festival expects investigations to continue in the upcoming months which will prevent them from obtaining licenses for vendors in time for their scheduled date of February 15th 2009. As of now Wonder Festival activity is suspended until things clear up.

Over react much? How can something like this affect an event occurring 5 months from now? I'll give them one thing, they sure are thorough in their investigations.
