How does this ride feel?
Ride DNA
Scores describe how the ride feels. They are separate from official facts below.
Physical motion
Speed / Launch
7.0 / 10Why?
official reverse-launch coaster supports high physical speed/launch.
Evidence confidence: High
Drops / Airtime
2.5 / 10Why?
low drop perception supported by secondary review; not promoted to official fact.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
Height / Exposure
2.5 / 10Why?
fully enclosed coaster limits physical height exposure; perceptual context remains secondary.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
Rotation / Orientation
8.0 / 10Why?
official 360-degree vehicle rotation supports very high orientation.
Evidence confidence: High
Surprise / Reversal
6.5 / 10Why?
official reverse launch supports high reversal/surprise without using generic coaster intensity.
Evidence confidence: High
Force / G-load
6.5 / 10Why?
reverse-launch coaster supports high force; exact G values unknown.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
Roughness / Jolt
1.5 / 10Why?
secondary smoothness perception supports low roughness; intensity is not counted as roughness.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
Sensory environment
Visual Motion
7.5 / 10Why?
enclosed show-coaster and secondary screen/projection context support high visual motion.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
Darkness / Visibility
7.5 / 10Why?
official fully enclosed ride supports high darkness/visibility limitation.
Evidence confidence: High
Sensory Load
7.5 / 10Why?
non-kinematic media/show effects support high sensory load; speed/force are not double-counted.
Evidence confidence: Moderate
