The first actual inversion, the sidewinder, is tighter and more forceful again.
The non inverting loop delivers good force, with a smooth transition at the top.
You can freely walk under the launch system at the back of the park.
The launch system is powered by a series of electric drive motors.
Things really kick off with the 2nd launch, swiftly launching trains into a non inverted loop.
Following the first turn are few banks and dips that are 'fun'.
There's enough speed to get it around the first turn.
It is here your ride photo is taken.
It starts of steady, with a sudden burst of speed at the end.
A turn out of the station leads into a quick first launch.
The front car.
Boarding is quick given guests can step in easily and leave their items in tubs along the wall. The restraints lack secondary seatbelts, making checking quick.
The equipment and sensors in the station are minimal and quite low profile.
The station is compact, but functional, with staff able to count out 7 guests, one behind each gate, whilst the ride is cycling.
Mind your head.
One last flight of stairs into the station, where the track passes very closely overhead.
A small queue area is in the middle of the ride, with photos of all three versions of the Big Dipper printed on banners.
There's no denying it offers some great views however.
Many guests have commented it feels quite dull and prison like.
To enter, riders head up another flight of stairs over this galvanised steel bridge.
