This wooden roller coaster utilizes a traditional chain lift to reach its peak before descending into a series of steep drops and rapid turns. The layout is characterized by multiple airtime hills and tight, high-banked curves that produce strong lateral gravitational forces. Riders experience a rhythmic, rattling sensation typical of timber structures as the train navigates the winding track through a dense support frame.
