He then filled the kidney with stones and urine. He and a colleague went to the Disney resort in Orlando and rode Big Thunder Mountain holding the kidney model between them at “kidney height.” After 60 rides, it was confirmed that kidney stones passed during the ride; however the surgeon noted that there was a huge difference when sitting in the front versus the back of the rollercoaster.
