Star Jet has two queue lines, two stations and two trains; a stand-up train and a standard sit-down train that travels backwards. The backwards sit-down train stops at the Backnanger station (an attempt at using both English and Japanese to say "It's backwards!"). The stand-up train stops at the "Standing Coaster" station.
