Ride experience

After all riders are buckled up, the ride begins with a small sharp turn to the right. Then the riders are lifted up to 24m. Train drops a little bit and banks to the right again. Riders then take a 21m drop, leading to a vertical loop, then a large turn to the right. Next element is a double corkscrew. Trains turn again before hitting the brake.
