A sprawling lattice of white-painted lumber defines the skyline, providing a classic aesthetic and a sense of scale. The experience begins with a steep ascent followed by a series of long, sweeping drops and camelback hills that generate consistent airtime throughout the course. Twin tracks allow trains to race side-by-side, diving through banked turnarounds and rattling over parallel segments at high speeds. The rhythmic clatter of the wheels against the wood intensifies as the layout weaves through its final series of sudden hops.
