After being dispatched from the station, the train makes a right hand turn, entering the 130-foot (40 m) lift hill. Upon reaching the top of the lift hill, the train enters the first element of the roller coaster, a Dive Drop. This element is similar to the Dive Drop’s found on X-Flight (Six Flags Great America) at Six Flags Great America, The Swarm at Thorpe Park, GateKeeper at Cedar Point, Fenix at Toverland and consists of the train rotating 180 degrees into an upside down position before descending back to the ground. During this drop, the train reaches its maximum speed of 62 miles per hour (100 km/h).
Next, the train enters a camelback hill where riders experience the feeling of weightlessness. Upon exiting the hill, the train immediately enters an Immelmann loop.
Next, the train goes through a Corkscrew, followed by a left-handed 270-degree downward helix. The next element is a new element called a Demonic Knot, it consists of a combination of an inclined Dive Loop followed by an inclined Immelmann Loop. The train then enters a 315-degree left hand turn leading into the final brake run.
