It is going to be a very twisted ride, crossing itself many times, with many near miss moments with track and other elements. There will be many tight turns and a few quick inversions. Speed will be sustained well, similar to Millennium Force and a midcourse launch may help this.

What will it do? Take us up a nice 140 ft. lift. We will go through a few inversions and sharp turns. Half way through the ride we will brake hard and almost stop. We will then be launched (possibly out of a tunnel) to go into more inversions and hard turns. The track will wind heavily through itself and there will be a flythrough the White Water Landing station.
That was fun
