Ride experience
The ride starts with a lift hill. Unlike the traditional chain lift, the Roller Coaster's lift hill use drive tires, which many coasters use to roll into a train station. At the end of the lift, riders face a swooping banked curve, leading to a camelback hill, then a highly banked curve to the right. Another hill appears, followed by a large turn, leading riders to a cave in middle of the air. Trains then bank for the last time and hit the brakes. A small curve leads riders to the station.
