Ride layout
Once the coaster train exits the station, It makes a left hand, 180 degree turn and climbs the 24-foot (7.3 m), tire driven lift hill. Once at the top, the train travels a few feet of straight track before dropping 22.5 feet (6.9 m) at a 45 degree angle. The train then travels up a tight, left banked, 540 degree, upwards helix. The train then enters a hill that crosses over a guest pathway. After that the train travels through a tight, right banked, 360 degree, downwards helix. The train then re-enters the station and is stopped by the magnetic brakes.

gollark: Well, yes, now.
gollark: Doesn't mean I haven't *tried* Google.
gollark: I have.
gollark: My point is that presumably SolarFlame5 is worried about some activity advertising companies could do with their data, but there's not a reason Google couldn't do it too. Outside of selling data, but the issue with that is that ultimately you're (probably) worried some company will do something other than just "sell it on" with it.
