Ride experience
edit
After being dispatched from the station, trains climb the 33.3-metre-tall (109.3 ft) chain lift hill. Trains then descend the 28-metre-tall (91 ft) drop reaching a top speed of 80.0 kilometres per hour (49.7 mph). The train then navigates a rollover (2 half loops connected by two half heartline rolls). Once the train exits the rollover, it traverses a banked turn, sidewinder, helix, and double in-line twist. The train then performs a few turns before entering the brake run.
