The owner of Twinlakes is being prosecuted for an accident in which an eight-year-old boy suffered a broken leg while celebrating his birthday.
The youngster, who lives in Derby, visited the leisure park on April 14 last year and was riding on the Mack tea cup fairground ride when his leg became attached to a bolt.
Today the owners of Twinlakes, Devon company BB&B Leisure Parks, and its director Michael Bendall appeared at Leicester Magistrates Court.
The company pleaded not guilty to a charge under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 of failing in its duty to ensure there were no risks to people's health and safety.
Neil Ward, the inspector for the Health and Safety Executive who led the investigation into the incident, told the court he was content for the trial to take place at the magistrates' court.
The three-day trial is scheduled to take place in February next year.
Mr Ward told the magistrates: "The defendant in this case is a company that operates three leisure parks in the UK.
"The incident in question happened at Twinlakes, which is in the Melton area and employs about 150 people.
"A young man, who was eight years old, was there celebrating his birthday.
"A bolt on one of the rides caught in his shoelace and he suffered a broken leg."
The trial will take place before a district judge on February 3, 5 and 6 next year.
