Riders feel a sudden, mechanical surge as the flywheel engages, propelling the train forward with immediate force into a massive vertical loop. After cresting the loop, the train climbs a steep dead-end spike, hanging momentarily in the air before plummeting backward through the circuit. This return trip provides a disorienting sensation as the loop is conquered in reverse, finishing with a climb up a rear spike that lets riders look straight down at the track below. The experience concludes as the train gravity-feeds back into the station after losing momentum on the final incline.
