Ride Layout
Riders depart from the station in a standing position, then ascend a small 90-foot (27 m) lift. A small dip, characteristic of Bolliger & Mabillard rides, follows the lift hill, preceding the curved right drop. A loop follows the drop and is followed-up by an upward right and downward banked turn. An upward helix follows the downward turn and is followed by a right corkscrew. After another upward helix and a wide turnaround, the train ends the finale brake run before entering the station. The ride is a near-perfect replica of Bolliger & Mabillard's first coaster, Apocalypse (Six Flags America), minus the theming and the direction of the first drop is changed.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:
“And no one knows what’s yet to come.
For Patrick Pearse had said
That in every generation
Must Ireland’s blood be shed.
From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
