I've been on the DROP ZONE a dozen times. Just had to be a freak accident. Sort like the odds a plane crashing. IMO.

Drop Zone is awesome. one time when the park was closing we got to just stay on the ride for over 20 min. Up and down up and down up and down...

Anyone remember when that fat lady fell out of the Tidle Wave and died? They still kept that open for like two more years.
