Fiery Trains from Hell
The rock structure used to have a waterfall, which originally spat blood-red water until the late-80s or early-90s. The waterfall was shut off entirely about 6 or 7 years ago due to damage to the track and rock structure. There is a rumor that the track was so bad that a section of Shockwave track was refabricated and grafted into its place... hence the jolt felt at this point in the ride.
