Ride Elements
The ride had on-board audio via speakers in the back of each car, a first for any wooden roller coaster. The audio for the coaster was linked to an audio box at the back of the train. The ride also consists of two tunnels, one a "fly-through station" where the trains pass through over the top of the ride's boarding area and other guests. Other elements include several detailed pre-show rooms and pyrotechnic effects during the coaster's lap.
Fourteen months after its opening, the ride's audio no longer functioned properly. Currently there are no plans to run audio effects again and the speakers have been removed.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or elements:
“You will never get the crowd to shout “Hosanna!” until you ride into town on an ass.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
