  • Misc. Issue Heat related issues ran rampant at this venue in 2009. Sweltering summer heat during the middle of the summer can do that to you. Guest age varied.

  • Misc. Info - Much like other venues -- there were other injuries at this park, but not more than 10. So they were not published, however, if there's enough interest, we will post some of these injuries.

Islands of Adventure

  • Back and Neck - Riders on The Hulk roller coaster have made mention of back and neck pain associated with riding this roller coaster. A lot of the issues seem to stem from riders in the last row of the roller coaster train. Those riders have all had similar accounts of the ride -- smooth as glass launch and rough brace yourself rest of the ride. Age range for these injuries varied.
  • Motion Sickness - Guests riding The Adventures of Spiderman ride have made mention of coming off feeling nauseous. We have been able to pin point it to riders who wear glasses and contacts. While not everyone who wears glasses or contacts has had issues, just be aware.
  • Misc. - There were 8 issues with Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls, if there's enough interest, we'll share that information. Other than that, no much else regarding this venue.

  • Motion Sickness – Riders on both the Simpsons 3-D motion simulator ride and The Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster have made mention of extreme motion sickness. On Revenge of the Mummy, all issues stem from the backwards portion of the ride. Riders within all seats made mention of this, with many indicating they do not have issues with motion sickness. Age of riders varied as well and was between 10-70 years of age.

    • Riders on the Simpsons ride indicated the motion of the ride and the wearing of 3-D glasses added to motion sickness. Interestingly enough, riders wearing contacts and glasses were a majority of the riders having issues.

  • Back – Riders on both the Simpsons 3-D motion simulator ride and The Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster made mention of back pain associated with riding these attractions. Simpsons ride issues stemmed from riders who indicated they did not anticipate the sudden drops and dips of the ride. Of those issues, many of them centered around riders who were bracing their child during the ride and sitting at a weird angle.

    • Revenge of The Mummy issues centered on the ending of the frontward portion of the ride. Riders indicating that the sudden rough stop caused back pain and discomfort. Riders within all areas of the train have echoed this complaint.
