Backlot Stunt Coaster

Midway through the ride, the coaster comes to a complete stop for a few seconds of "show".  At this point the helicopter "shoots" at the train. Bullets seem to cause explosions of flame from several locations. Air cannons in water barrels splash water onto the stopped coaster riders.  The cars are immediately launched again and dive to safety in a dark tunnel before bursting through a billboard and splashing down into the water in the Los Angeles drainage basin.
