Ride experience
Immediately upon leaving the station, the car turns slightly to the left and then begins to ascend the 98.4-foot (30.0 m) lift hill. The car then descends a 97-degree beyond-vertical drop, reaching a speed of 52.8 miles per hour (85.0 km/h). The car then enters an Immelmann loop before traveling through a curved drop to the right. The car then enters a cutback, followed by an inclined loop. The train then enters the brake run before turning left into the station. A ride on Tantrum lasts approximately one minute.[2][3]
