This dual-track wooden attraction features two parallel courses where trains ascend a shared lift hill before splitting into identical layouts. The ride experience is defined by a series of drops and hills that create consistent vertical forces and a sense of weightlessness. Its traditional out-and-back design relies on gravity to maintain momentum through various banked turns and elevated sections. The wooden framework provides a distinct tactile sensation and acoustic resonance during the journey.
