layout
After the train has left the station, it first turns left before pulling up the lift hill. Once at the top, there is a predrop , then a left turn before the train descends the First Drop. The two loops follow. After the second loop has been completed, a right-hand bend follows, which ends in the double corkscrew . A helix close to the ground is the last driving element before the final brake.
