It appears this Goomba tower's anchorage wasn't sufficiently attached to deal with the proper C&C windloading. The embed video makes it look like the tower is integral, with the failure taking place at the base.

-Nintendolife.com story link-

"A Goomba tower, located above the park's Yoshi ride, reportedly fell down from its lofty display sometime on 9th August. Thankfully, the tower fell into an area of the park that's inaccessible to visitors, meaning no one was hurt – except for the Goombas, presumably.

There's no footage of the incident taking place, but Twitter user @tatata77747890 has shared a clip of park staff collecting the fallen (and very heavy looking) Goomba tower and taking it away. You can see that visitors are sitting patiently on the Yoshi ride while this happens, which was temporarily paused while the Goomba evacuation took place:"

My inner child will be investigating this place soon enough....in the interests of public safety of course.
