What comes next is what many coaster enthusiasts still call the ride of a lifetime. After climbing to an Alpine high of 195 feet, riders are hurtled through six staggering inversions at speeds up to 67 miles per hour This real coaster design is especially unique with the 106 –vertical loop recreation. The track is particularly engineered to mirror the actual ride experience.
