This ride is one of eight Corkscrew with bayerncurve models manufactured by Vekoma. It has a double corkscrew and a Bayerncurve.

Color scheme

While at Ital Park, the ride had red track and white supports. When it arrived at Beto Carrero World, it was painted light-brown with light-blue supports. At some point, most likely 2006, the ride was repainted orange with dark-blue supports.
