Cheetah Hunt

The Windcatcher Tower is 102 feet tall, but the drop off of it has trains plunge 130 feet thanks to placing the track within a rather deep ditch.  I like the added excitement of having the coaster pass through ditches, but there is one problem with these below-grade sections.  The problem with these ditches is that they have filled with water on several occasions in the coaster's first decade of operation.  Heavy tropical rain has flooded the ditches which obviously necessitates closing the coaster.
