Glissade was a steel roller coaster featuring a compact layout characterized by tight turns and a unique spiral lift hill. The train ascended the lift via an electric drive system before traversing a series of high-speed helices and sudden drops. Riders sat in a single-file, bobsled-style seating arrangement within small cars that navigated the tubular steel track near the ground. The experience emphasized lateral forces and quick changes in direction without the use of inversions.
