This roller coaster features a wooden support structure paired with a steel I-Box track system. The ride sequence begins with a rapid ascent up a steep hillside, followed by a sequence of high-speed maneuvers including large drops and heavily banked turns. The train traverses the natural terrain through a series of airtime hills and rapid transitions before returning to the station. The mechanical design emphasizes sustained momentum and lateral forces throughout the wooded landscape.
