Follow Up: 4/25/08 - Further analysis into
these issues has shown that all
riders who complained about issues
with this roller coaster were
obviously over the age of 30,
however, they all had one thing in
common. It was after 1700 hrs and
they had not eaten and/or had not
been drinking liquids during their
visit.
Those who had not eaten anything
mainly cited finding nothing worth
eating and also mentioning wanting
to ride everything in the park and
being excited all day.
Those who had not been drinking
indicated high prices for water and
also failing to properly hydrate
themselves before visiting the park. |
