The terrifying comes from the fact it takes you through Camden.

Ah, well, that explains the strange names then. Zumanjaro Drop Of Doom.... the park's Kingda Ka. Wonder how that translates to English.

Why doesn’t the ride put on mandatory vomit bags. Those who

That happened to me once many years ago on a Ferris Wheel, of all things. Person in the car below puked and by the time the wheel turned halfway around it was above us and the puke dripped into our car.

Was really gross!

Cheers,
Jim

They really should put barf bags on these coasters and any other ride that can induce vomiting.

The people who go on these two rides must have a death wish.
