Summary

Height and age requirements

Riders must be 3 years of age or older. To ride alone, riders must be a minimum of 7 years old and a minimum of 44" tall. Riders under age 7 or under 44" tall may ride with a supervising companion.[2]

Queue

As the guests enter the queue, they see various large comic pictures of Super Grover.

Ride experience

Once the guests are seated with their lap bars lowered, Super Grover exclaims, "Hello superheroes! We are cleared for takeoff!". After the train dispatches the station, it ascends up the lift hill. As it nears the top, Super Grover says "Okay, here we go! Wave to your mommies and daddies!", followed by a winding drop and multiple helixes. When the vehicle comes to a brake run before heading back to the station, Super Grover then says, "Yes, watch out! Coming home! Hey Mama!" before returning to the station.
