On June 2,2015 a train carrying passengers collided with an empty test train, resulting in serious injuries to a number of riders.

Shortly before the collision, an additional train had been introduced to the ride's circuit. An empty train dispatched for testing subsequently stalled on the track, reportedly after a gust of wind, triggering the ride's block safety system to halt further movement. Engineers on duty manually overrode the system, reportedly unaware that the stalled train remained on the course following the recent addition of another train. As a result, a following train carrying passengers was permitted to proceed and collided with the stationary train ahead.

Two of the riders sitting in the front row required leg amputations. Other riders in the back suffered from varying degrees of injury, from whiplash to punctured lungs and shattered kneecaps. It took three hours from when the initial crash happened to when the riders were freed.
