Alton Towers operator Merlin Attractions has been fined £5 million at Stafford Crown Court after admitting health and safety breaches over The Smiler rollercoaster crash.
The crash left two teenagers needing leg amputations, and several other victims with serious injuries.
Several victims of the crash were in court, where the hearing was told the force of the rash was equivalent to a family car crashing at 90mph.
Merlin Attractions has been told it must pay a £5 million fine for a catastrophic failure of safety which led to a crash at Alton Towers.
Two teenagers lost legs in the crash on the Smiler ride last summer.
The court heard that an engineer felt pressure to get the ride back into service, and that management linked bonuses to the time rides weren't working.
Charlotte Grant reports:
A video showing the moment a carriage on the Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers crashed into an empty car has been shown in court.
Merlin, the operator of the park, has been told it should expect a "very large fine" for breaching health and safety.
