Track and Ride Experience
Green Lantern is 4,155 feet (1,266 m) long.
Upon leaving the station, the train climbs up the 155-foot (47 m) tall lift hill. Along the hill the Green Lantern oath is played on speakers aligning the steps. At the top, the train enters the signature B&M pre-drop before making a slightly banked 180 degree turnaround. After this, the trains drops 144 feet (44 m) into a 121.58 feet (37.06 m) tall vertical loop. Coming out of the vertical loop, the track rises up to the right into a 103.83 feet (31.65 m) tall diving loop, hugging the first drop of Superman: Ultimate Flight. Riders then rise up and into a diving turnaround over the station. Dropping out of the turnaround, the train then enters a right leaning 72 feet (22 m) tall inclined loop. The inclined loop elements are unique to the three larger B&M standup coasters: Green Lantern, Mantis, and the Riddler's Revenge. After a small hill the train then rises up to the left into the mid-course brake run. Dropping out of the brake run, the train enters a right corkscrew, and turns to the right, weaving through the middle of the diving loop. The track then makes a ground hugging left hand turn, entering a low to the ground second right corkscrew. After a right hand turn, the train makes a final 180 degree left hand turn into the final brake run, before advancing back into the station.
The first half of Green Lantern's layout is a mirror image of Mantis at Cedar Point, with the exception of being taller and longer. The second half is also similar, but Green Lantern has an additional corkscrew after the mid-course brake run, along with an additional turn around before the final brake run.
