[edit] The Layout
The coaster cars are designed to look like 3:4 scale MINI Cooper convertibles, with each car holding 4 passengers at a time. The ride is meant to emulate the movie's car chase sequence, stopping midway to be interrupted by a sequence of a helicopter flying by and shooting at the cars, followed by pyrotechnics. The ride is fairly short, at about 1 minute, 4 seconds.
[edit] 2006 Season
This is the only new coaster of the season for the park.
