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:
“You will never get the crowd to shout “Hosanna!” until you ride into town on an ass.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
