When built in 1997, it was the first Inverted roller coaster in Texas.[citation needed]

After a banked drop to the left, the train enters its first loop, then through a Zero−G Roll, a second loop and two final corkscrews. Its layout is nearly identical to that of the various Batman: The Ride coasters found in several Six Flags parks across the U.S.[citation needed]
