[edit] Ride Layout
Riders exit the station before taking a sharp turn and up a 45 ft chain lift. and taking turn followed by a small brake run and repeating that three times. Then, the riders go up a small hill and another brake run, take a sharp turn and go down the biggest drop of the ride, where the rider's photo is taken. After that, the riders go up a hill before a brake run and 2 bunny hills and that is the conclusion of the ride.
