Coasters that go under their own station

As long as you stay in the queue line behind the rails that are designed to keep you there, then yes, it's perfectly safe. You'd have to leave the queue line entirely and climb onto the track to be in any danger... and if you're dumb enough to do that, an extra fence by the track probably wouldn't be any more of a deterrent. I say it's safe.

Not ASTM safe ;-).

Viper at SFMM dives under the station at the very end of the ride, then it does an S-Turn into the brake-run.

But the real question is: Is it ASO safe? ;)

Umm no it doesn't. It dives under the beginning of the lift with a drop curved to the left then does a hill up to the right into the brakes. There is no S-turn and it doesn't actually go under the station. This picture (and the hundred thousand others just like it cause this is like the obligatory Viper at SFMM shot.) is taken from the queue under the station http://www.rcdb.com/ig25.htm?picture=4.

Oh and sorry for this post's tone. I'm not mad its just wake up time for me and I'm still drinking my coffee. Plus it hasn't been "Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!" Yet ;-)

Coaster, now "Thunderhawk" at Dorney used to go under the station before they tore down the BIG old station.

Actually, it never went under the station itself. It went through a short tunnel under a floor that people walked over, but it wasn't part of the station - it was an area that had a couple arcade games in it, and led to the queue.
