Except for the second loop the ride is almost an exact duplicate of a similar roller coaster at Dam Sen Cultural Park.
Ride experience
The ride begins with a small drop, before the trains make a sharp U-turn to the right. Riders immediately climb the lift hill . Trains again make a small drop, and another turn to the right, this is followed by a 27-metre drop. Trains then go through the double loop, the first of its kind in Vietnam. Then comes a double corkscrew, inverting the riders twice. Riders experience another large turn before coming to a stop.
