Nestled in this area is a ride that has barely ever operated...the Barrels.  It's basically a tea cup ride and year after year they sit idle.



This is the Ninja!  It's not the most friendly ride but it has it's good moments.



The Ninja was built by Vekoma in 1986 for the Vancouver Expo and Six Flags purchased it for their 1988 season.  I think this is one of the first Vekoma coasters in the US.



The coaster uses track as well as trains from Arrow Dynamics.  Vekoma especially in their early days didn't have the money to design their own track and cars so they licensed Arrow's design for their rides.



The Ninja has a nice pause before heading on down.
