Accidents
On June 30, 1995, a 14-year-old girl died when she fell from a height of 7.6 m while driving. The railway was initially closed to investigate the safety devices. As a result, new lap bars were installed. The park owner (Hunt Midwest) and the builder (Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters) gave 200,000 dollars in return.
In 1990, 38 people were injured in a collision between two cars on the roller coaster.
