Suspended beneath the overhead track with feet dangling, riders are thrust forward by a sudden, powerful electromagnetic launch that sends them surging up a massive twisted vertical tower. The train then plunges backward through the station, accelerating to peak speed before climbing a straight vertical spike that offers a brief, disorienting moment of weightlessness facing straight down at the earth. This relentless forward-and-backward shuttle experience combines intense positive G-forces on the valley passes with hair-raising airtime at the peaks of both towers.
