Design
- Dive loop
- Zero-G Roll[1]
The ride is painted black, with some track sections painted yellow. It is the first (and currently only) model of a new Mack Rides product named the BigDipper. It is unique in that as well as having 2 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 only coaster from Mack to utilise this seating arrangement, two Intamin coasters also use it; Skyrush at Hersheypark and Flying Aces at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
