The ride system is unique. A giant ram runs up the middle of the tower, with a pulley wheel on the end of the ram. Cables are attached to the gondola, loop up over the top of the tower and under the afformentioned pulley wheel. This means when the ram retracts the gondola is pulled up, and when the ram extends the ride car lowers down.
