|---|
Corkscrew begins with a right turn directly out of the station into the chain lift hill. At the top of the chain lift hill, the train goes down the pre-drop and turnaround before the full drop to the ground. Next, the ride turns around and travels into the double corkscrew element. This is followed by a right turn back into the station.
Trains
6 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train.
