In August 2015, three people were injured when the White Water Log Flume slipped on its track,[9] and later the same month a 58-year-old woman and three teenagers were forced to walk down from the top of the ride after it got stuck at the highest point.[10]

In March 2016, eight people had to be rescued from the Tornado roller coaster after it became stuck 20ft (6.09m) above the ground.[11]
