Ride summary
[edit]Riders board a 10-person train, which leaves the stations and travels on a snaking course toward the elevator lift. After being lifted up, the boat travels down a 50-metre-tall (160 ft) drop angled at 45 degrees. It then goes into a "splash track" element,[6] which, as opposed to a splashdown, is not intended to slow down the train. After the splash track, it rises left into a 360 degree helix. After being slowed down by a second splashdown after the helix, it returns to the station.[7]
