|---|
It is the first spinning roller coaster with an inversion. The ride is interactive and guests play a game while riding. As Veil of Dark, the interactive game was shooting-based.
After its rebranding to Gekion Live, the interactive game became a rhythm game.
Theme
During collaboration events at the park, the music rhythm game will change to fit the event theme. Otherwise, the ride features music from Sonic the Hedgehog and Joypolis's virtual idol LOPIT.
Trains
5 cars. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 4 riders per car.
