Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom began taking down the Superman Tower of Power ride on Wednesday, eight months after a cable snapped and cut off 14-year-old Kaitlyn Lasitter's feet.

Surgeons at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., removed 1 1/2 inches of bone had grown through muscle tissue and began pushing on the skin on Lassiter’s left leg. Lasitter will not walk again for at least five weeks after undergoing her fourth amputation surgery since the June 21 accident, said her mother, Monique Lasitter. "She had been up and going," but now she is in "serious, intense pain," Monique Lasitter said.

Doctors reattached Kaitlyn's right foot, but she had to have some of her left leg amputated.

Kentucky Kingdom spokeswoman Carolyn McLean declined to say what will become of the ride or if anything will go in its place when the park reopens in the spring.

Lasitter and her family are suing Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, claiming the park failed to maintain the ride and equipment and ensure riders' safety.

In court filings, the amusement park has denied liability in the accident.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture, which inspects amusement park rides, is awaiting tests on a cable from the ride to determine what caused it to snap. Once the tests are complete, the Agriculture Department plans to release its findings about the accident.
