The ride also consists of a 97-degree drop, a −1.3"g" camelback hill, a 110-degree overbanked turn, a vertical loop, a heartline roll, and a helix.The ride has four roll-articulated vehicles consisting of two rows of four seats giving each vehicle a capacity of eight riders per circuit. The trains use standard over-the-shoulder restraints. It is the tallest roller coaster in Wales.

The No Limits roller coaster simulator was used for much of the concept art for this ride
