Apollo’s Chariot is a steel roller coaster featuring a series of large camelback hills and high-speed turns designed to maximize airtime. The ride utilizes a traditional chain lift hill to reach its initial peak before plunging into a ravine, which allows for a drop distance greater than the structural height. Passengers are seated in open-air trains with lap bar restraints, traversing a layout that winds through wooded terrain. The experience focuses on a sense of weightlessness through various parabolic hills and a high-banked helix.
