The 41 m high descent of the 44 m high lift hill leads into the 35 m high loop , through the center of which the lift hill rail runs. On the other 1213 m long route there is a dive loop and a zero-g-roll . The Cobra-Roll and the Interlocking Corkscrews each consist of two inversions , so that the track has a total of seven inversions.
Trains
Kumba owns four trains with eight cars each. Four people (one row of four) can be seated in each carriage. Shoulder straps are used as a restraint system.
