Injury/Incident Trends:

Villain	Riders on the Villain Roller Coaster reported neck, back, and uncomfortable shaking that caused pain to the neck and back. Most of the complaints came from riders over 30 years of age.
Raging Wolf Bobs	Riders on the Raging Wolf Bobs roller coaster had complained of roughness of ride and subsequent pain associated with riding this attraction. Most of the complaints came from riders sitting in the last two rows.
Thunderhawk	Riders on the Thunderhawk roller coaster complained of neck, ear, back, and pounding headaches after riding this attraction. More so were ear injuries and riders complaining of suffering temporary, partial hearing loss. Riders were quick to point out that this was due to the restraint and it's close proximity to their ears. [Ed. Note: Thunderhawk will be at Michigan's Adventure in 2008.]

Venue has since been closed down by it's owner. Nothing further to add. Information will be archived and any rides from this venue finding their way to new parks will be archived, too, and will be linked to for further use in the coming years.
