Design
| Elements |
|---|
Lost Gravity is painted black, with some track sections painted yellow. The ride is the first model of a Mack product named BigDipper. It is unusual in that, as well as having two seats above the track, each row also has two outer seats suspended on the sides of the track; one on the left and one on the right. Despite being the first coaster from Mack to utilize this seating arrangement, some Intamin coasters also use it.
Trains
4 cars. Riders are arranged 4 across in 2 rows, for a total of 8 riders per car. The outer seats are positioned such that nothing is above or below, much like a winged roller coaster.
