Ride layout
Once the coaster train exits the station, It makes a left hand, 180 degree turn then climbs the 24-foot (7.3 m), tire driven lift hill. Once at the top, the train travels a few feet of straight track before dropping 22.5 feet (6.9 m) at a 45 degree angle. The train then travels up a tight, left banked, 540 degree, upwards helix, traveling through a Sesame Street style desert. The train then enters a hill that crosses over a guest pathway. After that the train travels through a tight, right banked, 360 degree, downwards helix. The train then re-enters the station and is stopped by the magnetic brakes.
