The Ride
After an intense launch from 0 to 80 mph (130 km/h) in 1.8 seconds up a 90° incline, the ride crested a 165-foot (50 m) hill, and without fully slowing, plummeted down an 90° dive. Next, the coaster performed a banked left turn, skirted a small hill, went through a smaller banked turn, before heading into the brake run.
