Ride Experience
Upon exiting the station, the train immediately begins climbing the 188-foot (57 m) lift hill. Upon reaching the top, the train curves into the 171-foot (52 m) drop, entering the 140-foot (43 m) tall vertical loop. The train then turns a sharp left, entering two vertical loops and then climbing into the mid-course brake run, followed by a zig-zag into the boomerang (two connected diving loops, each is a mirror image of the other). Riders are photographed by the on-ride camera in the middle of this element. Riders then make a right turn and immediately enter the double-corkscrew, followed by flat track and two turns before hitting the final brake run, then making a final turn before returning to the station.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or experience:
“I saw him beat the surges under him,
And ride upon their backs. He trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoll’n that met him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The science of constructing a commonwealth, or renovating it, or reforming it, is, like every other experimental science, not to be taught a priori. Nor is it a short experience that can instruct us in that practical science, because the real effects of moral causes are not always immediate.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
