Rather cool ride. The paint is yellow, with blue supports and an orange and blue train. When the ride starts, there is a beep and then you are rammed out of the station by the LIM's (i think they are, anyway). The acceleration literally forces you back, a good 3-4G's probably. You go graddually higher on each back and forth trip as the motors push more, I believe that this occurs three times. Then the motors reverse and the train slides nicely back into the station. When you are in line for the ride, near the station itself, there is a loud wooshing noise as the train passes at 70 or so mph, like a semi but longer. There is a noticeable tail vortex. This is a prretty intense ride, but very fun. The lines aren't normally horribly long.

Best part is that the ride stops for 2 sec when you are on the back hill the last time

This ride is awesome.......Just don't sit in the front row at night.........Do you know what happens when bugs hit the windchield of a car? Well, they shine lights up on the track, making it an insect magnet.........REALLY FUN.........WORTH A WAIT.....even though there normally isn't that long. A MUST ride.
