Layout: lift hill takes 50 seconds to reach the top, then there is the 221 foot first drop into the first tunnel. The train begins going up agains and is soon at the top of a 145 foot airtime hill. This is quickly followed by an overbank turn into a straightaway that gives a great sense of speed. This is shortly followed by two camelbacks that generate great airtime and weightlessness. This is followed by the first helix which dives down before becoming level with the ground. This is followed by a second helix that stays level with the ground and is the most intense part of the ride (where all the force is produced). This is followed by the second tunnel which dives past the steps to Superman. This is followed by a buny hill that has the only brakes on the entire ride. After this is a pair of bunny hops before the final turn taken at 45 MPH into the brake run.
