This ride was built with the observers as much in mind as the riders. Those who don't have the stomach for hair-raising drops and turns can take aim at the passengers from the ground, using powerful water cannons located at strategic spots around the roller coaster.
For their part, the people on the ride are equipped with a panel of buttons that wirelessly control showerheads located above each of the water guns - which means that the sharpshooters on the ground need more than a little courage to step under and take aim.
"It's a good way to get as many people as possible to enjoy the ride," Seay says.
