This steel shuttle loop coaster utilizes a flywheel launch system to propel the train from a stationary position into a vertical loop. After clearing the inversion, the track ascends a steep vertical spike, where the train loses momentum and begins a reverse journey back through the course. Riders experience a second trip through the vertical loop while traveling backward before coming to a halt at the loading platform. The ride’s compact layout is characterized by its intense positive G-forces and the mechanical sound of the heavy flywheel mechanism.
