Ride Experience

After leaving the station, the train turns 180 degrees to the left and enters a 114.8-foot-tall (35.0 m) lift hill. It immediately descends the first hill at a 90-degree angle and enters a vertical loop, followed by a Zero-G Roll to the left. After the second inversion, the train enters a leftward-sloping Stengel dive, followed by a Dive loop. The train goes over two camelback hills before entering a right-hand corkscrew. After the corkscrew, the train enters another camelback hill before hitting the brake run and entering the station.[2]

gollark: Actually, no, they're partly just background radiation. Nobody is particularly responsible for this, on the majority of Earth.
gollark: By some unreasonably stretched definitions, maybe.
gollark: There are upper and lower bounds for how much water I should drink. The precise amount of cancer I should contain is exactly zero, though.
gollark: There are examples of this. There are examples of this not being the case.
