Experience
After riders have boarded, the restraints are secure and the train is dispatched, the train takes about a half turn to the left before beginning to the climb the Chain lift hill. As the train reaches the top of the lift hill, the train goes through a pre-drop before making a sharp turn to the left towards the first drop. When the train reaches the bottom of the drop, it goes through a vertical loop followed by a slight turn to the left afterwards goes through the second out of four elements, a dive loop. After, the trains goes over a small airtime/bunny hill and goes through the zero-g roll. Immediately after, the train approaches the final element of the coaster, a Dive drop. The train then makes a right turn followed by a left which is followed by another right turn before hitting the final brake run. After passing the brake run, the train makes a right turn going through another set of brakes before entering the station.[1][2]
