Unverified Reports

No Date Reported - Submitted by smcginn on 9/5/2003
May 2002. My 15 yr old niece complained that something hit her hard in the back during the show. There is some kind of jet in the back of the seat that shoots air at you to make you feel that a bug stings you. After the show she pulled up the back of her shirt and had a huge welt on her back - she still has the scar a year later. We went to customer relations and was told "the ride is supposed to do that". After visiting first aid at the park we were told they stopped the ride to investigate but found nothing wrong. I believe that the jet in my niece's seat was plugged and whatever plugged it up became dislodged and hit her or the air in that jet was on too hard.
