Ride Experience
After departing from the station, the train makes a left turn leading directly to the beginning of the 149-foot (45 m) lift hill. Once the train reaches the top of the lift hill, it makes a sharp, downward 129-foot (39 m) drop followed by a 89-foot (27 m) loop. After exiting the loop and making a slight right turn, the train goes up leading into a zero-gravity roll. The train drops back to the ground before going through an Immelmann loop. Next, the train makes an upward right turn followed by going back down slightly in the same direction. Then the train, goes over a small inverted hill, drops to the ground, and makes a left turn into a corkscrew. Then the train makes a right turn which leads to the brake run. The train then makes a left turn back into the station where the next riders board.
One cycle of the roller coaster lasts about 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

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)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
