journey
After leaving the station, the train is pulled on a lift hill to a height of 57 m. This is followed by a 52 m high first drop , which includes a 180 ° left curve. When the train has almost reached ground level, a 44 m high driveway follows, at the apex of which is the first of three loops . After a 180 ° left curve, the other two loops follow, which are 27 m and 19 m high. The height of the loops does not refer to the diameter of the individual loops, but to what height they are. The diameter of the loops are much smaller. If the last loop pass through, the train reaches a block brake before the inversion name Batwing reached, is actually two inversions. The last two inversions are the 12 m high double corkscrew before the train hits the final brake. There is still a small underpass to the left before he reaches the actual final brake.
