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]
