North America's first all-indoor straddle coaster and the park's longest wait by a wide margin. Limited capacity means lines build fast and stay built noon through early evening. Rope drop is the only reliable sub-20-minute window.

North America's fastest multi-launch coaster when operating. Prone to wind closures and downtime. Not in the historical dataset because of it. When it's running, drop everything and ride immediately.
