Injury/Incident
Trends:
Flashback
The
Flashback roller coaster, too, another sore
spot at this venue. Head related injuries
and a lot of headache and migraine type
related incidents. This ride, we'd highly
suggest skipping when and if you ever visit
this venue.
Cyclone
The Cyclone wooden
roller coaster was a real sore spot with many visitors
to this venue. Back and Neck related injuries, as well
as many cases of riders enduring headaches that would
ruin the rest of their days. Further complaints from the
consumer points at a ride that is just "too rough on the
body." We're also currently tracking rib related
injuries to riders on this attraction, which only adds
to the negativity of this attraction.
Mind Eraser
The Mind Eraser roller
coaster was another sore spot at this venue, ear, jaw,
and other miscellaneous related head injuries was not
uncommon. In fact, the perception of this ride was so
bad that we have to question why it is still operating.
Surely this venue knows what this riding is dishing out
--- more often that not it's not a good time.
Two of
this venues roller coasters, The Mind Eraser and Flashback are
built by the same manufacture, which should not come as a shock
to those familiar with roller coasters. Just appears that there
is some type of black cloud over this venue, not much positive
feedback and when there is - there's always negative feedback to
follow. What is going wrong at this venue? Perception of this
venue is rocketing to the gutter and as we tracked it during the
2007 we never imagined this venue would be perceived as negative
as it is.
