The thrill isn't over after the initial 2.4g launch. Upon reaching the top of the 60m tower, the carriage abruptly changes direction as the air-powered ride thrusts back down to earth. At this point riders are being accelerated towards the ground faster than gravity. What results is some of the most extreme airtime found on any ride.
