Bit of a "bump" on Screamin at DLC

[Mrs Dazzle]

Just seen piccies on the news of two coasters on Screamin' that had a bit of a coming together. Thankfully it would appear no-one seriously injured, but a few people taken to hospital.

Shame, it's really a great coaster. Fabulous launch!

From the picture I saw it looks like one train was still in the station when the other one returned after its run. The returning train wasn't held in the blocks as it was approaching the station, and thiu led to a low speed shunt, presumably with some whiplash injuries among riders in the first train. Bit scary, but not likely to cause serious injury.
