Back before the ride opened, WDI was testing what would happen if some of the safety features failed to function properly. Everything went fine as the car went through the high speed loop. When the car finished the high-speed run to enter the building, it didn't slow down, damaging the building and the car. The building was repaired before the ride opened, but the car was irreparable.
