After an intense launch from 0 to 80 mph (130 km/h) in 1.8 seconds up a 90° incline, the ride crested a 165-foot (50 m) hill, and without fully slowing, plummeted down an 90° dive. Next, the coaster performed a banked left turn, skirted a small hill, went through a smaller banked turn, before heading into the brake run.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:

    “Only the desert has a fascination—to ride alone—in the sun in the forever unpossessed country—away from man. That is a great temptation.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Of coursers also spake they: Henry rid
    Well, like most Englishmen, and loved the races;
    And Juan, like a true-born Andalusian,
    Could back a horse, as despots ride a Russian.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
