The rows that riders sat in varied with this ride and we cannot pin point a particular part of the roller coaster train that is triggering injuries more than another part.

Besides the above mentioned roller coasters - this venue has received a lot of praise. One word of caution, though, the summers are hot, so we highly advise that you drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after visiting. We're finding many patrons are failing to do so and it is ruining their days. So be prepared!
