|---|
The ride twists and turns through the terrain. It has two lift hills. The track is yellow and the supports are white.
Trains
4 trains with 5 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 3 rows, for a total of 30 riders per train. Because of the age of the ride, the trains have to be unlocked manually by ride operators. Although it has four trains, it is often run with only one, as the ride isn't as popular as it was when it opened.
