Riders plunge into a dark, curved tunnel immediately upon leaving the station, building anticipation before the train engages the rhythmic clatter of the lift hill. Once at the summit, the course unfolds with a series of sharp drops and high-speed banked turns that offer striking views of the Pacific coastline. The ride maintains a relentless pace, characterized by the classic vibrations and resonant roar of a vintage wooden structure. It concludes with a sequence of tight airtime hills that provide a spirited finish to the seaside journey.
