Following the Zero G Roll the track sweeps through an S bend, past a giant poster...
The 2nd inversion is a Zero G Roll.
After the upwards helix the track drops down again.
The first drop sends riders into a vertical loop and then a 270 degree upward helix.
The ride starts off with a lift hill into a 27.7m drop.
Theming.
Theming.
The queue takes you through an area littered with air force themed paraphernalia.

Train consist of 12 cars, each with 2 seats. The short individual cars allow it to navigate the twisted layout with ease.
The ride maintains a fast pace from start to finish thanks to a larger drop and turns that are proportionally lower, as well as a lot of gently curved low to the ground sections that don't eat up kinetic energy.

Note the foam pads under the track at the high point of the curve to prevent noise being amplified by the amphitheatre effect.
The layout is quite twisted and features several high banked turns and sweeping S-bends.
The first drop of Gold Striker wraps around the Star Tower observation ride.
The high speed section continues, and blows past the side of the loading station.
The train barrels past those waiting in the queue.
Hitting maximum speed.
