Ride layout and experience
The ride starts with a left turn out of the station and on to the 125 ft (38.1 m) lift hill. At the base of the lift hill, the train reaches its maximum speed of 65 mph (104.607 km/h). Following the lift hill are two camelback hills, the first being 100 ft (30.5 m) tall, and the second being 95 ft (29 m) tall. In these hills, riders experience "ejector air-time." The train then jumps a bunny hop and another camelback hill and a double-up hill, before turning around for the second half of its course. After the turnaround, the train hits another bunny hop and another double-up hill. After the double-up hill there is a series of 6 bunny hop hills. After the last hill there is an on-ride photo camera and the ride's finale, a 630 degree helix, in which riders experience lateral g-force. After the helix, the train slides on to the final brake run and does a u-turn back into the station.
