This steel looping coaster utilizes a traditional chain lift to ascend a hillside before plunging into a dark tunnel. The layout features three large-scale inversions, including two vertical loops and a sidewinder, which are navigated at high speeds. Riders experience significant positive gravitational forces as the train moves through sweeping transitions integrated into the natural mountain topography.
