Unverified Reports

During the drop of Acrophobia, I was free-falling to the point that I was not touching the seat. When the ride slowed down, I hit the seat extremely hard and have had very bad tailbone pain since (10 days as of this writing). I cannot sit for long periods of time (e.g., >30 minutes) in a chair with a cushion and not even for 10 minutes in a chair without a cusion. At this point, I have decided that I should have a doctor take a look.

    I rode on acrophobia with my friends. The feature where riders are rotated 15 degrees forward was not being used and instead riders were being dropped sittin upright. An employee informed us that the person with the key to unlock the mechanism had not shown up for work. I was dropped sitting upright. I have had constant lower back pain for over a month and I am being treated. I feel that the entire force of the drop was borne on my lower back and this would not have happened if I had been leaned forward.
