Riders depart the station on floorless trains that leave feet dangling inches above the steel track. The journey begins with a climb up a chain lift hill followed by a sharp drop that sends the train into a large vertical loop. The layout navigates a series of tight, forceful turns and a snappy corkscrew, maintaining momentum through a compact footprint. Constant directional changes combined with the open-air seating design create a sense of vulnerability as the train weaves close to the ground and surrounding pathways.
