Ride Experience

The ride started by leaving the station and entering the straight track. Then it would enter a U-turn and enter the Chain lift. After climbing the chain lift, Riders plunge down a large first drop. Then it enters a highly banked turnaround similar to Cyclone's first turnaround. After that, it plunges down another large drop into a small Bunny Hill. Then it enters a large hill into a long straight track, followed by a set of Trim brakes. Then, it entered a left hand turn followed by a curved drop which drops next to the lift hill. After that, it went into a set of 2 more Bunny Hills into the final turnaround, this time under the first one. it entered 2 more Bunny Hills before popping into the Skid brakes, and entered the station.
