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:
“How soon I may ride the whole world about;
And at the third question thou must not shrink,
But tell me here truly what I do think.””
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 30–32)
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
