Posted at 9:56 AM EDT (1356 GMT)

Jul. 13th, 2007 -- Thursday, the family of the teenage girl whose feet were severed while riding Superman - Tower of Power, sued Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom for an undisclosed amount of money.

The lawsuit alleges negligence in inspecting the drop tower ride and asks for a temporary injunction to prevent the park from altering or destroying the ride and a cable that investigators believe cut off the girl’s feet.

Kaitlyn Lasitter, the 13-year-old girl injured, remains hospitalized and in good condition at Vanderbilt University Medical in Nashville, Tenn.
Doctors at Vanderbilt reattached Kaitlyn's right foot after the June 21 accident but couldn't save the left.

A spokesperson for the park said they have no comment at this time, as they have not viewed the lawsuit yet.
