This steel coaster utilized a traditional chain lift hill to carry riders to its peak before a steep drop into a series of large-scale inversions. The layout featured three consecutive vertical loops, followed by a batwing element and a double corkscrew, all executed on a classic tubular steel track structure. Riders experienced significant positive G-forces through the various maneuvers while seated in multi-car trains. The course concluded with a final brake run following a high-speed, low-to-the-ground turn.
