<p>The coaster starts with a 68 MPH launch in 2.2 seconds into a top hat where it climbs to 180 feet and then plummets to the ground. Following this is a barrage of airtime hills, tight turns, and inversions.

<p>In certain spots around the ride, copper alloy fins have been placed to create a magnetic field that regulates the coaster's speed.
