Shockwave is a stand-up roller coaster that positions riders in an upright stance secured by a bicycle-style seat and over-the-shoulder restraints. The ride begins with a chain lift hill that leads into a curved drop and a vertical loop. After the inversion, the train navigates a series of banked turns and small hills before concluding the experience at the final brake run. The track layout emphasizes physical forces felt through the legs and torso while standing.
