Alternative Medicine

With health care in the US dangling by a thread this method of treating kidney stones comes at an opportune time. An urological surgeon in Michigan decided to scientifically investigate the many claims his patients had made over the years about passing kidney stones after riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World. He made an artificial kidney and filled it with stones,after 60 rides he found success 64% of the time if seated in the rear of the roller-coaster but only 17% if seated in the front of the ride. With the seating being random there is no way to guarantee your place on the ride though the price for a day pass being at $59 (discount) to $132 regular it is still considerably less expensive than other procedures and if you love roller-coasters it becomes a win-win situation!
