The ride's 60m tower dwarfs even 2005's Superman Escape roller coaster at 40m. The ride is the tallest attraction in the park and the second tallest attraction at any Australian theme park.

The thrill isn't over after the initial 2.4g launch. Upon reaching the top of the 60m tower, the carriage abruptly changes direction as the air-powered ride thrusts back down to earth. At this point riders are being accelerated towards the ground faster than gravity. What results is some of the most extreme airtime found on any ride.

The outside of the Big Brother complex is nothing more than a white tin shed. Security fences line the perimeter. The trees provide seclusion from the nearby freeway and noises from Dreamworld. The cables overhead carry the camera footage and audio back to the production crew at Dreamworld studios, about 250 metres down the path.
