The print version of the latter article also has a photo of riders zooming-by on the orbiter with the spider next to it, with the photo caption, "Fair-goers ride the orbiter on Monday, just a few feet away from the spider, which was shut down this weekend".
The print version of this article also has "Ride Safety Tips" from "Indepependent safety consultant" Ken Martin of Virginia.
