The Wabash Cannonball begins with a classic, rhythmic ascent up its seventy-foot chain lift hill, building anticipation as the train crests the peak. Riders are plunged into a sweeping first drop that quickly builds to a roaring fifty miles per hour, sending wind rushing through the open-air train. The absolute highlight of the journey is the back-to-back corkscrews, where passengers experience intense positive G-forces as they are smoothly flipped upside down twice in quick succession. After exiting the inversions, a final helix spiraling over the terrain delivers a thrilling, gravity-defying conclusion to this vintage steel coaster experience.
