This steel roller coaster utilizes a traditional chain lift hill to carry riders to its peak before descending into a series of maneuvers. The layout features two consecutive vertical loops followed by two back-to-back corkscrews that pass over a pedestrian midway. Riders travel in sit-down cars through a series of high-speed transitions and a final helix before returning to the station. The ride’s structure is characterized by its tubular steel track and dense lattice support columns.
