The Ride
Riders are towed up a 116 foot (33.5m), 45° incline and dropped. The train reaches a maximum speed of 47 mph (75.6 km/h), while traveling through the station and into a cobra roll element, inverting the riders twice and turning in the direction of the initial incline. It then travels through a vertical loop and up a section of track that is nearly parallel to the first incline. Finally, the train repeats the trip, backwards, to complete the ride.

Famous quotes containing the words the ride and/or ride:
“Some day I’ll claim to you how all used up
I am because of you but in the meantime the ride
Continues. Everyone is along for the ride,
It seems. Besides, what else is there?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
And berries in the hedge
Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
And death seems like long hills, a range
We ride each day towards, and never reach.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“To sum up:
1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute.
2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.
3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
