Ride experience

Riders would exit the station and would turn right before entering the lift hill. After a small dip downward, the coaster goes into a small banked turn right before finally going down the first drop. The first drop was followed by the ride's first inversion, the loop. Riders would then go into another banked right turn before going through the other two inversions, the double corkscrews. The ride would then make a final banked right turn before entering the brake run and leading riders back into the ride's station.
