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:
“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)
“Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
