Design
| Elements |
|---|
Anaconda's design is very similar to that of Bolliger & Mabillard's Batman model. The ride differs from Batman after the second vertical loop when it goes into a helix followed by back-to-back corkscrews, and a second helix.
Many parts of the ride interact with the surrounding rock formations.
Color scheme
When it first opened in 1999, Anaconda had pink track and green supports. The track and supports were painted orange from 2009, and then painted bright green since 2015.
Trains
Single train with 10 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in a single row, for a total of 20 riders per train.
