There are 64 human and 55 animal Audio-Animatronics in the attraction.

Back in the days when there were two channels at the load area, the boats went through an automatic switch gate in staging. That was the source of many downtimes.

The first drop is 52 feet, at an angle of 21 degrees, and the second is 37 feet, also at 21 degrees. This was necessary to get the boats under the Railroad tracks, as the main show building is actually outside the tracks. Guests also get to go *up* a 90 foot waterfall at a 16 degree angle.

Near the end of the ride, the white haired prisoner is actually a replica of a janitor who worked there.
