Again. Video doesn't do the ride justice. Ride this at night! It's like being launced to the stars and back. The launch is actually smooth and not that intense. The designers have said they spent a great deal of time calculating the acceleration values on both the launch and deceleration. An interesting note is that this ride as well as many modern coasters today utilize powerful magnets to slow the train. Often known as rare earth magnets. They do not need electricity and are very powerful. Permenantly positioned the are as fail safe as magnet sticking to you refridgerator.
