Eddie quickly helps other workers get the people out, but then he notices that the cart is still falling-while a little girl, “ Amy or Annie,” stands below. While making his ordinary rounds one day, Eddie sees a cart on a ride called “Freddy’s Free Fall” hanging and threating to dump out the ride-goers.
