I actually rode this ride a couple hours before this happened. I had been joking with my wife that the train was actually more dangerous than the coasters I was making her ride with me. I had meant because it gets robbed every time it goes out, but I guess I was more right than I knew.
There are a couple places on the train route where the track is built right next to fairly steep downhill drop-offs. If it had tipped over in one of those spots, this could have been a much uglier thing.
