Ride Experience
After departing from the station, the train immediately begins to climb the 105-foot (32 m) chain lift hill. Once at the top, the train makes a sharp 80-foot (24 m) downward right turn into the roller coasters first element, a vertical loop, reaching a top speed of approximately 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). After exiting the loop, the train then goes through a zero-g roll before entering a second loop. The train then goes up a rightward helix before backing a downward left turn into a corkscrew. After a sharp left turn, the train enters another corkscrew. Upon exiting the corkscrew, the train makes a right turn into the brake run which leads directly back to the station where the current riders unload and the next load. One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or experience:
“Thou and I
Have thirty miles to ride yet ere dinner-time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Some authorities hold that the young ought not to lie at all. That, of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary; still, while I cannot go quite so far as that, I do maintain, and I believe I am right, that the young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance and precision which alone can make the accomplishment graceful and profitable.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
