Talon (roller Coaster) - Ride Experience

Ride Experience

After being dispacted from the station, the train immediately begins to climb the 135-foot (41 m) lift hill. Once at the top, the train goes through a pre-dop before making a sharp 120-foot (37 m) downward right turn. Once at the bottom, the train enters a 98-foot (30 m) tall vertical loop. After exiting the loop, the train goes through a zero-gravity roll before droping back to the ground and entering an immelmann loop. The train then makes a full 360-degree upward right turn followed by a left turn leading into another drop. After the drop, the train makes highly banked right turn into a corkscrew. Next, the train makes a left turn (extremly close to the ground) before going up, then back down, and back up which leads into the brake run. After exiting the brake run, the train makes a right turn into a second, shorter, set of brakes before entering the station.

One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or experience:

    ““But such as you and I do not seem old
    Like men who live by habit. Every day
    I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
    Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
    Or court a woman; neither enemy,
    Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted; then old categories of experience are called into question and revised.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
