Design

Elements
Chain lift hill Tunnel Tunnel

The ride travels through a giant fiberglass apple twice. Unusually, rather than clear a plot for the ride, the park built it among existing trees, meaning there are actually trees within the circuit.

Colour scheme

The ride used to have yellow track and green supports, but both track and supports where repainted green later on. The ride received dark orange track and green supports when it was relocated to Parc de la Vallée.

Trains

Single train with 6 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train.
