Riders mount unique horse-themed vehicles that mimic the stance of a jockey, secured by a specialized restraint system that presses against the lower back. The experience begins with a sudden, forceful launch that propels the train across a flat straightaway before banking into a series of low-to-the-ground turns and figure-eight maneuvers. The layout emphasizes lateral forces and swift transitions, keeping the momentum high as the horses gallop through the Ghost Town wilderness. With the wind whipping past and the unusual seating position providing an open-air sensation, the ride delivers a brief but punchy sequence of high-speed maneuvers.
