RIDE EXPERIENCE
Samurai is a little difficult to explain with words. For the most part it spins you in every way imaginable and never when you expect it to. Perhaps like a real Samurai is throwing you around in the air. The seats randomly lock in place also. The best way to enjoy this ride is to let your legs and arms fly around and let yourself get thrown around in your seat. Seriously. But sometimes if you do that and you're sitting on the outside, the blood can rush to your feet and hands and that can get uncomfortable.
RIDE HISTORY & INFO
The Samurai was the first of its kind built in an amusement park in North America. The Flying Carpet was dismantled after the 1999 season and replaced by this new and exciting ride.
