The Laser Loop was a steel shuttle coaster featuring a flywheel launch mechanism to accelerate the train into a vertical loop. After clearing the inversion, the track ascended a steep incline before gravity pulled the train backward through the circuit in reverse. The ride concluded by passing through the station and ascending a second rear spike before returning to the boarding platform. The experience was characterized by high gravitational forces within the loop and the distinct mechanical sound of the launch system.
