At a Glance

• One of the top-ranked steel roller coasters in the world as voted on by Amusement Today readers and other Industry publications and polls.

• The ride's steep hills and drops provide riders with an abundance of airtime.

   

• Adding to the ride experience is the use of unique, open-air, stadium-style seating on the trains which provide all riders with an unobstructed view of all the thrills this steel monster offers.
