Ride Experience
Riders take a seat in one (1) of twelve (12) carriages laid out to form a perfect circle around the base of the ride. Each carriage holds four (4) people. There is no seat belt or restraint system on the ride, only a cage to hold on to while the ride is in motion. As the ride reaches full speed, gravity keeps the riders in place even when the ride is on a 90-degree angle. It takes about 16 seconds for the ride to reach full speed before "launching" of the ground and takes just over 30 seconds to get into a vertical position (90-degree angle). The ride remains in the vertical position for about 10 - 15 seconds before returning back down into the loading (horizontal) position.[1]
