Injury/Incident
Trends:
Goliath
Riders on
this roller coaster who had issues, always
make mention of how they could not stand the
final helix aspect of this ride. We made
mention of this last year, too, and we
looked more into it. This is what we found:
Riders
who blacked out were in the last 4 rows
Riders
who blacked out had various ages
Riders
who blacked out had been drinking
fluids, however, interestingly enough
those who had been drinking fluids seem
to have blacked out between 1200-1500
hours. It is extremely odd and we're
still looking into it.
There were
really no other issues with this ride and
we'll be following up with this venue as we
receive more information for the benefit of
their customers and themselves.
Batman
Riders on
this roller coaster have indicated that the
rough nature of this ride and the hard
restraints against their ears did not make
for a good time. We would advise caution
before riding this attraction, as it does
pack quite a punch, some riders have
indicated 'literally'.

Riders on
this roller coaster, all men, always seem to
throw in or indicate how this ride hurt them
in the scrotum area. Furthermore, those
riders always seem to be males who sat in
the last three rows and were on the outside
seats.
The
roughness of this ride is not uncommon and
is one of the main issues that the public
makes mention of.
On the
flip side, though, this roller coaster gets
a lot of complements regarding how intense
and different it is. With the implementation
of new trains, it will be interesting to see
if the roughness issue was taken away.
However, 2 venue employees who share
information with Amusement Safety
Organization have indicated that the park is
going more for reliability of the trains.
Tatsu
This
roller coaster has issues stemming from the
pretzel loop element, where riders have
indicated that the intensity of it caused
them to black out. If they did not black
out, they indicated that they felt ill
afterwards, which oddly enough was always
accompanied by a nosebleed.
Issues
with the pretzel look did not occur in a
certain age group and seemed to occur in all
age groups. The one thing that was noted,
was that more of these issues centered
around riders in the last two rows of the
roller coaster train.
We reported issues
on this venue last year and we were amused by this
parks response. As they do not comment on hearsay
and that they're safe (what else do you/we expect
them to say?). Well that "hearsay" is their
customers talking and they're continuing to do so as
are some employees who share information with us
regularly.
We're hoping for good things
with this venue, whether or not they choose to reply to our
information or not, their customers have every right to know
what is going on.
