History[]
- Main article: Incidents at Six Flags parks
On September 30, 2012, 19-year-old man fell from the Venom Drop water slide at Black Snake Summit. According to a spokesperson for the water park, the man cut in line at the slide, fought through the lifeguards and jumped onto the slide head first. The man tumbled onto the slide and slipped over the edge, falling 60 feet onto a fence below the slide tower. The local sheriff's office reported that the man was transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.[3] A former lifeguard stated that the man was drunk and it took about 30 minutes to locate him after he had fallen.[4]
In 2014, Black Snake Summit was repainted by Baynum Painting.[5]
