Patriot (Worlds of Fun) - Ride Experience

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:

    Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes,
    Misprizing what they look on, and her wit
    Values itself so highly that to her
    All matter else seems weak.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Knowledge is to be acquired only by a corresponding experience. How can we know what we are told merely? Each man can interpret another’s experience only by his own.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
